Based on the successful evaluation campaigns on Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events (DCASE) organized in 2013, 2016, and 2017, I am happy to announce that DCASE Challenge will be organized again this year. The challenge will include the following tasks:

1) Acoustic scene classification
2) General-purpose audio tagging of Freesound content with AudioSet labels
3) Bird Audio Detection
4) Large-scale weakly labeled semi-supervised sound event detection in domestic environments
5) Monitoring of domestic activities based on multi-channel acoustics

The tentative schedule of the 2018 challenge is as follows:

21st Mar: release of detailed task specifications, development datasets and baseline systems
30th Jun: release of evaluation datasets
31st July: challenge submission deadline
15 Sep: challenge results
