Researchers have developed a new mean-field theory for multi-component online Independent Component Analysis (ICA) in high-dimensional settings. This theory models the interaction between simultaneous learning and orthogonalization processes. The analysis reveals distinct phases: a decoupled regime where components learn independently, and a competition regime where overlapping initializations lead to conflicts and slower convergence. The study also identifies conditions that affect learnability, such as data moments and initialization, predicting a staircase effect in recoverable components based on learning rate. AI
