Firstly an extension of the closed form gradient and Newton methods used by Joho and Rahbar [1] is developed which encapsulates the more difficult convolutive mixing case. This extension is completely in the time domain and thus avoids the inherent permutation problem associated with frequency domain approaches. We also compare the performance of three commonly used algorithms including Gradient, Newton and global optimization algorithms in terms of their convergence behavior and separation performance in the instantaneous case and then the convolutive case.

The closed form expressions used for first and second order optimization techniques derived in [1] are extended to accommodate the more practical convolutive mixing scenario. Traditionally convolutive BSS problems are solved in the frequency domain [2], [3], [4] but this requires additional solving of the inherent frequency permutation problem. We demonstrate the performance of the algorithm using two optimization methods with a convolutive synthetic mixing system and real speech data. I.

As identified in [1] the motivation for subband-based BSS is the drawback of frequency domain BSS when dealing with sep-arating mixed speech signals over a few seconds resulting with few samples in individual frequency bins leading to poor sepa-ration performance. In the proposed approach mixed signals are decomposed into subband components by an ELT and within each subband a time domain Newton BSS algorithm is employed based on the nonstationarity property of the input signals and the joint diagonalization of output correlation matrices with time varying second order statistics (SOS). This subband version is compared to a fullband version using the same BSS algorithm. 1.
