Abstract

Guided by the principles of geometric independent component analysis (ICA), we present a new approach (SOMICA) to linear geometric ICA using a self-organizing map (SOM). We observe a considerable improvement in separation quality of different distributions, albeit at high computational costs. The SOMICA algorithm is therefore primarily interesting from a theoretical point of view bringing together ICA and SOMs; this intersection could lead to new proofs in geometric ICA based on similar theorems in the SOM theory.
