Dear all,
(apologies for cross-posting)
We are thrilled to announce that the IEEE-IS² Music Packet Loss Concealment Challenge is coming back in 2025!
The IEEE-IS² 2025 Music Packet Loss Concealment Challenge will be part of the 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Networked Immersive Audio (IEEE IWNIA 2025), an event of the 6th IEEE International Symposium on the Internet of Sounds (IEEE IS² 2025), which will take place in L'Aquila, Italy, October 29–30, 2025.
This year’s challenge follows the same format as the 2024 edition, with a few important updates to reflect the importance of real-time performance in practical applications. The challenge is open to everyone, including undergraduate students, Ph.D. candidates, researchers, and practitioners in signal processing, music technology, and machine learning. We warmly invite the community to join us and take part in the second edition of the Music PLC Challenge!
