[AUDITORY] DCASE 2019 Workshop in NYC: Call for Papers

*** Apologies for cross postings ***

*** Please forward to other interested colleagues ***

The 4th Workshop on Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events, DCASE 2019, will be held in New York City on October 25-26 2019:

http://dcase.community/workshop2019/

The workshop immediately follows WASPAA 2019 and SANE 2019, also hosted in New York, offering a full week of exciting audio related research!

As in previous years the workshop is organized in conjunction with the DCASE challenge. We aim to bring together researchers from many different universities and companies with an interest in the topic, and provide the opportunity for scientific exchange of ideas and opinions.

The technical program will include invited speakers on the topic of computational everyday sound analysis and recognition, and oral and poster presentations of accepted papers.

In addition, a special poster session will be dedicated to the DCASE 2019 challenge entries and results.

We invite submissions on the topics of computational analysis of acoustic scenes and sound events, including but not limited to:

Tasks in computational environmental audio analysis

Acoustic scene classification
Sound event detection and localization
Audio tagging
Challenges in real-life applications (e.g., rare events, overlapping sound events, weak labels)

Methods for computational environmental audio analysis

Signal processing methods
Machine learning methods
Auditory-motivated methods
Cross-disciplinary methods involving, e.g., acoustics, biology, psychology, geography, materials science, transports science

Resources, applications, and evaluation of computational environmental audio analysis

Publicly available datasets or software, taxonomies and ontologies, evaluation procedures
Ethics, privacy, responsible research
Applications
Description of systems submitted to the DCASE 2019 Challenge, expanded from the challenge technical report submissions to include evaluation results and comparison.

Reproducible research with open-source code and open data is encouraged (but not mandatory).

Important notice for challenge participants

Note that while each DCASE challenge submission must be accompanied by a technical report describing the system, in order to be considered for publication at the peer reviewed workshop, such reports must be augmented with final results from the challenge and a careful analysis of those results in the context of the other submissions in a way that provides meaningful, useable insight.

IMPORTANT DATES

05 Jul 2019: Workshop paper abstract submission
12 Jul 2019: Workshop paper submission
23 Aug 2019: Notification of paper acceptance
25 Oct 2019 - 26 Oct 2019: Workshop

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
