Boosting improves ICA for better component recovery.
New framework extends ICA for non-independent variables, identifying pairwise mean independence.
Independent component analysis (ICA) decomposes multivariate data into mutually independent components (ICs). The ICA model is subject to a constraint that at most one of these components is Gaussian, which is required for model identifiability. Linear non-Gaussian component analysis (LNGCA) generalizes the ICA model t…

We present a new method for the separation of superimposed, independent, auto-correlated components from noisy multi-channel measurement. The presented method simultaneously reconstructs and separates the components, taking all channels into account and thereby increases the effective signal-to-noise ratio considerably…
Subjective classification of galaxies can mislead us in the quest of the origin regarding formation and evolution of galaxies since this is necessarily limited to a few features.

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a cornerstone of modern data analysis. Its goal is to recover a latent random vector S with independent components from samples of X=AS where A is an unknown mixing matrix. Critically, all existing methods for ICA rely on and exploit strongly the assumption that S is not Gaussian…
Independent component analysis (ICA) is a statistical method for transforming an observable multi-dimensional random vector into components that are as statistically independent as possible from each other.

Causal discovery witnessed significant progress over the past decades. In particular, many recent causal discovery methods make use of independent, non-Gaussian noise to achieve identifiability of the causal models. Existence of hidden direct common causes, or confounders, generally makes causal discovery more difficul…
