Please note, that this is a sharp deadline, i.e. there will be no further extension. You can submit your papers at: http://lsas2008.dke-research.de/conftool/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2nd Workshop on Learning the Semantics of Audio Signals (LSAS) 2008 June 21, 2008 (Saturday before ICAD 2008) IRCAM - Paris, France http://lsas2008.dke-research.de +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS The Workshop on Learning the Semantics of Audio Signals (LSAS) focuses especially on researchers that are working on semantics, description, representation and understanding of music with the goal to intensify the exchange of ideas between the different research communities involved, to provide an overview of current activities in this area and to point out connections between them. Therefore, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following aspects with respect to music information retrieval systems: - Audio signal processing and feature extraction - Content-based audio retrieval - Music perception, cognition, affect and emotions - Music structure analysis - Semantic audio description and analysis - Ontologies for music and sound description - Standards for audio content description - Machine learning methods for feature extraction and mapping - Personalization of music retrieval systems While our main focus is on music data, we are also interested on work related to other audio data such as speech. Important dates: - Extended Deadline for paper submission: April 27th 2008 - Notification of acceptance: May 27th 2008 - Camera-ready paper submission: June 8th 2008 For the full Call For Papers and further information on the workshop, please visit http://lsas2008.dke-research.de
