Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Independent component analysis (ICA) deals with the problem of estimating unknown latent variables which generate the observed data. ICA has applications such as speech signal processing, time series analysis, and image feature extraction. A previous study of ICA assumes Laplace distribution on latent variables. However, this assumption makes it difficult to calculate the posterior distribution of latent variables. In the problem of sparse liner regression, on the other hand, several studies have approximately calculated the posterior distribution by assuming a hierarchical prior model representing Laplace distribution. This paper treats the problem of ICA and assumes a hierarchical prior model representing Laplace distribution on latent variables. Based on this hierarchical model, we propose a method of calculating the approximate posterior distribution on latent variables by using variational Bayes method. To compare our method and conventional ICA method, some experiments on synthetic data are performed. Through these experiments, we show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
