Dear List - Please find enclosed the announcement of a workshop we are organizing focused on approaches to automatic sound processing that combine perceptual insights with statistical techniques. DAn. ANNOUNCING THE ISCA TUTORIAL AND RESEARCH WORKSHOP ON STATISTICAL AND PERCEPTUAL AUDITION (SAPA2006) <http://www.sapa2006.org/> Papers are solicited for the 2006 Workshop on Statistical and Perceptual Audition (SAPA2006), to be held in Pittsburgh PA as a satellite to ICSLP 2006 <http://www.interspeech2006.org/>. Following on from the successful SAPA2004 workshop <http://www.sapa2004.org> (in Jeju, Korea), the objective of the SAPA2006 workshop is to bring together researchers considering perceptually-motivated problems in sound and speech analysis and understanding, employing statistical and machine learning tools. There is a wide area of overlap between more heuristic models of human auditory function and purely pattern recognition approaches that are independent of human audition; SAPA aims to be the forum for presentation and discussion of this promising and expanding field. This will be a one-day workshop with a limited number of oral presentations, chosen for breadth and provocation, and an informal atmosphere to promote discussion. We hope that the participants in the workshop will be exposed to a broader perspective, and that this will help foster new research and interesting variants on current approaches. Papers describing relevant research and new concepts are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics: * Generalized audio analysis * Speech analysis * Music analysis * Audio classificationy * Scene analysis * Signal separation * Speech recognition * Multi-channel analysis In all cases, preference will be given to papers that clearly involve both perceptually-defined or perceptually-related problems, and statistical or machine-learning based solutions. Manuscripts must be between 4 and 6 pages long, in standard ICSLP double-column format. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Papers must be recieved by 21 April 2006 (two weeks after the ICSLP deadline). The results of the paper review will be posted by 9 June 2006 (same as ICSLP).
