RBIG

The most updated Gaussianization algorithm which generalizes the original algorithms. It is more computationally efficient and still very simple to implement.

  • Iterative Gaussianization: from ICA to Random Rotations - Laparra et. al. - IEEE TNNs - Paper

Applications


Generalized Divisive Normalization

This can be thought of as an approximation to the Gaussianization
