Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study blind separation of speech signals based on feedforward neural network with sine ac-tivation function. The natural gradient is a major contribution to blind source separation (BSS) because its performance is independent of the mixing matrix. Computer simulations are provided by speech signals as sources (ten speakers) and in the instantaneous mixing case show that the algorithm with sine activation function converges faster and recovers independent sources better than other activation functions.
