摘要翻译：
我们重点研究了一种无对准的方法来从大量噪声随机移位的观测中估计潜在信号。具体地说，我们从观测中估计信号的均值、功率谱和双谱。由于双谱包含信号的相位信息，可靠的双谱反演算法在许多应用中都是有用的。针对这一问题，我们提出了一种基于归一化双谱矩阵谱分解的新算法。对于干净信号，我们证明了归一化双谱矩阵的特征向量对应于信号及其移位拷贝的真相位。此外，谱方法对噪声具有较强的鲁棒性。它可以作为双谱反演局部非凸优化的一种稳定有效的初始化技术。

英文摘要：
  We focus on an alignment-free method to estimate the underlying signal from a large number of noisy randomly shifted observations. Specifically, we estimate the mean, power spectrum, and bispectrum of the signal from the observations. Since bispectrum contains the phase information of the signal, reliable algorithms for bispectrum inversion is useful in many applications. We propose a new algorithm using spectral decomposition of the normalized bispectrum matrix for this task. For clean signals, we show that the eigenvectors of the normalized bispectrum matrix correspond to the true phases of the signal and its shifted copies. In addition, the spectral method is robust to noise. It can be used as a stable and efficient initialization technique for local non-convex optimization for bispectrum inversion.
