Apologies for cross-posting*            *** FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION : TASKS PROPOSAL ***                    Community-Based Signal Separation                             Evaluation Campaign                                 (SiSEC 2018)                         https://sisec.inria.fr/                  Task proposals deadline: October, 15th 2017 Following the success of the six previous editions, we are glad to announce the launch of the SiSEC 2018 campaign for the evaluation of source separation algorithms. This campaign is open to anyone, whether you are an expert or a newcomer, you are interested in e.g. audio, biomedical signal or image processing, and your algorithm relies on prior information or not. SiSEC 2018 is held in conjunction of the LVA/ICA 2018 conference, to be held in Surrey, UK, on July 2-6th 2018: http://cvssp.org/events/lva-ica-2018 SiSEC is community-based endeavor: all aspects of evaluation, including datasets and evaluation criteria, are to be agreed between the participants. We organizers will collect the results submitted by all participants. As a starting point, two audio tasks are proposed for this SiSEC: - Professionally produced music recordings (MUS) *** New data! *** - Audio Source  Counting (ASC) If you wish to participate or comment upon the proposed tasks, you can post your comments on https://sisec.inria.fr/ You are also most welcome to propose a new task for this SiSEC if you feel there is an important aspect of signal separation that could raise interest of a research community. If this new task is accepted by the SiSEC committee, it will be included in this SiSEC.
