Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The slow convergence of the optimization of the separation filters is a problem in blind source separation (BSS) based on independent component analysis (ICA).
We propose a new algorithm for BSS approach that combines ICA and frequency subband beamforming interpolation.
The proposed method consists of the following three parts: (i) a frequency
subband selector part for learning ICA, (ii) a frequency domain ICA part for selected frequency bins, and (iii) an interpolation part using null beamforming constructed with the estimated directions of arrival of sound sources.
The results of the signal separation experiments under reverberant condition reveal that the separation performance and the convergence speed of the proposed method are superior to those of the conventional ICA-based BSS methods.
