Model-based EM Source Separation and Localization (MESSL)
Ron, Dan, and I came up with a name for the source separation and localization system we’ve been working on. It’s so much easier to refer to a five-letter handle than an abstract concept, even one that we all share. MESSL is nice because it’s not too popular on google, it’s pronouncable, it’s short, and it includes all of the important features of the algorithm. It also meets Ron’s criterion of not including the word algorithm, so you can say “the MESSL algorithm” without the redundancy of “ATM machine” or “PIN number”.
Here are some of the other names we considered and rejected, in no
particular order:
| MUSSL | Model-based Underdetermined Source Separation and Localization |
| MISSL | Model-based Interaural Source Separation and Localization |
| SMELS | Source/signal model estimation for localization and separation |
| BULS | Binaural Underdetermined Localization and Separation |
| BELS | Binaural Em Localization and Separation |
| SLIME | Separation and Localization using Interaural Model Estimation |
| SLIDE | Separation and Localization using Interaural Difference Estimation |
| ELSIF | EM Localization and Separation using Interaural Features |
| MELSA | Model-based EM Localization and Separation Algorithm |
| ELSA | EM Localization and Separation Algorithm |
| SMEBLS | Source Model Estimation for Binaural Localization and Separation |
| MEBLS | Model Estimation for Binaural Localization and Separation |
| MEMALS | Model-based EM Algorithm for Localization and Separation |
