Abstract
This paper introduces the technique of Prior Subspace Analysis (PSA) as an alternative to Independent Subspace
Analysis (ISA) in cases where prior knowledge about the sources to be separated is available. The use of prior
knowledge overcomes some of the problems associated with ISA, in particular the problem of estimating the
amount of information required for separation. This results in improved robustness for drum transcription purposes.
Prior knowledge is incorporated by use of a set of prior frequency subspaces that characterise features of the sources
to be extracted. The effectiveness and robustness of PSA is demonstrated by its use in a simple drum transcription
algorithm.
