Linear Independent Component Analysis via Optimal Transport

Linear Independent Component Analysis (ICA) recovers jointly independent source signals from their linear mixtures. To achieve this, classical ICA algorithms attempt to maximize non-Gaussianity, measured by negentropy, which is linked to independence by information theory. Because exact negentropy optimization is intractable, they rely on proxy contrast functions, such as fourth-order cumulants, and parametric log-likelihoods. We propose instead to measure non-Gaussianity using the squared…
