7. The system as recited in claim 6 , wherein a plurality of sub-segments are delineated within each said segment; and, said adaptive decomposition and cepstral projection portions generate over each said sub-segment a parametric mean of said adaptive decompositions, each said sub-segment parametric mean being defined in terms of said representative set of decomposition atoms.
8. The system as recited in claim 7 , wherein said SVM part determines for each said k-wise comparison of sources a m-dimensional decision subspace defined by a corresponding set of m optimal atoms; and, said classification decision portion executes a non-parametric voting process iteratively mapping corresponding portions of said input signal segment adaptive decomposition to each said decision subspace.
