Memory-based signal source separation and categorization

This project performs signal analysis to drive desired signal-triggered actions, grouping, categorizing, and stratifying signals into useful buckets. It addresses shortcomings of blind source separation, which repeatedly guesses at sources and labels them as brand new, by keeping a memory of previously identified sources so distinctions persist across samples, analogous to how humans can tell pianos from drums and remember the distinction across songs.

    “Signal analysis to drive <desired signal-driven action>. Grouping/categorizing/stratifying signals into useful buckets to drive actions. Blind source separation has drawbacks like continuously guessing at sources and labeling them as brand new instead of having a memory of previously identified sources. Think of how humans can distinguish pianos from drums and remember the distinction across songs.”
