We apply both distance-based (Jin and Matteson, 2017) and kernel-based (Pfister et al., 2016) mutual dependence measures to independent component analysis (ICA), and generalize dCovICA (Matteson and Tsay, 2017) to MDMICA, minimizing empirical dependence measures as an objective function in both deflation and parallel m…

Kernel-based online learning has often shown state-of-the-art performance for many online learning tasks.
