Sparse component analysis techniques have been successfully applied to the separation of speech sources. This paper presents an efficient algorithm based on the matching pursuit approach to deal with multichannel records. The proposed algorithm explicitly employs spatial constraints among different channels to express mixed signals as linear combinations of delayed components selected from an overcomplete dictionary. We present a new procedure for estimating the mixing system parameters (attenuations and delays), which can be applied to more than two mixtures and is not restricted to non-negative attenuation coefficients. The proposed mixing system estimation method can accommodate delays of greater magnitude than traditional approaches. In addition, learned dictionaries that improve the identification step can be used when excerpts from sources (exogenous to mixtures) are available. The simulation results show that semi-blind dictionaries perform better than those used in blind configurations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
