Welcome to ICA Central

Welcome on ICA CENTRAL

About this site.

Purpose: promote research on independent component analysis (ICA) and blind signal separation (BSS) by means of public mailing lists, a repository of data sets, a repository of ICA/BSS algorithms, etc... See sections below.
All the material on this site comes from voluntary contributions of ICA/BSS researchers.
ICA-Central was created on Jan. 1999 (see the original announcement).

ICA steering committee

An international ICA steering committee has been created during the ICA 2003 workshop. Its purpose is to provide a framework to manage the forthcoming ICA workshops and to provide any relevant service to the ICA/BSS community.

Mailing list.

We run a mailing list devoted to discussions and annoucements regarding ICA and source separation.

For more information and for subscribing/unsubscribing, go to the mailing list page.
Browse the icalist archive.

Data sets.

An important task is to collect data sets. We are looking for both significant synthetic data sets and, more importantly, for real data sets.

To contribute a data set, go to the submit page.
See the available data sets.

Algorithms.

One of the objectives of ICA-Central is to promote the use of ICA algorithms and to facilitate their validation and comparison. If you are interested in this challenge, contribute your code to our repository.

To contribute ICA software, go to the submit page for instructions.
