Both of them were released by ASA in ANSI S3.5-1997.

Please see the attached announcment and call for proposals. DAn. ------- Forwarded Message Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2004 16:08:27 +0000 From: Emmanuel Vincent <emmanuel.vincent(at)elec.qmul.ac.uk> Subject: MIREX 2005 call ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MIREX 2005 2nd Annual Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ September 11-15, 2005 London, UK ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR EVALUATION TOPICS DEADLINE January 16, 2005 The 2nd Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange will take place during the 6th ISMIR Conference in London, UK, September 11-15, 2005. The goal of this contest is to compare state-of-the-art algorithms and systems relevant for Music Information Retrieval. We aim at MIREX to represent the vast and multidisciplinary field of MIR, including symbolic, audio, and other subdisciplines. - - Evaluation topics will be proposed by the participants. - - Evaluation procedures and test collections will be agreed among the participants. - - Partial test data will be made available to the participants for algorithm fine tuning. - - Evaluation of submitted algorithms will be performed by the MIREX organizing committee. - - Results will be presented during a poster and a panel session. As a first step, we are issuing a call for evaluation topics. Calls for evaluation procedures and for participation will follow. Interested individuals are invited to join the MIREX mailing list at https://mail.isrl.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/evalfest to receive these calls. For more information, please see the ISMIR 2005 website at http://ismir2005.ismir.net/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SUBMISSIONS Submissions of evaluation topics should include: - - a title - - a short description of the problem to be addressed (data and query type, expected results), - - a list of possible participants (names, email addresses, and likelihood of entering), - - suggestions for evaluation procedures (metrics, listening tests, etc), - - suggestions for relevant test collections (including how they might be obtained and possible copyright issues). Proposals should be submitted to J. Stephen Downie at jdownie(at)uiuc.edu (MIREX General Chair) and Emmanuel Vincent at emmanuel.vincent(at)elec.qmul.ac.uk (MIREX Local Chair) by January 16, 2005. The MIREX organizing committee will retain all proposals, score them according to their likelihood of being held and publish them on the MIREX mailing list and web site. All willing participants will have until February 20, 2005 to amend the proposals. Then the MIREX organizing committee will review the amended proposals and select the ones that will be held. We are looking forward to your contributions ! The MIREX organizing committee. ------- End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2004 11:36:02 -0500 From: Christine Rankovic <rankovic(at)ARTICULATION.COM> Subject: Re: The calculation of Speech Intelligibility Index Please note that even though the SII is an ANSI standard, there was no validation study of the SII metric. Some assumptions underlying the SII--such as the idea that SII is dependent on speech materials (e.g. nonsense syllables versus sentences)--go against 80 years of articulation index literature, while offering no demonstrated advantage for predicting speech intelligibility.
