What is blind source separation problem?
Blind Source Separation (BSS) refers to a problem where both the sources and the mixing methodology are unknown, only mixture signals are available for further separation process. In several situations it is desirable to recover all individual sources from the mixed signal, or at least to segregate a particular source.
How does source separation work?
In audio source separation, each speaker or musical source is seen as an available degree of freedom while each channel or microphone is viewed as a constraint that restricts one degree of freedom.
