Subject: Community-based Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign Reminder From: Emmanuel Vincent <emmanuel.vincent@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:20:51 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear colleagues, We would like to remind you the July 25th deadline for evaluation proposals to be run as part of the 1st Community-based Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign (SiSEC 2008). Two evaluations for audio data have been proposed so far on http://sisec.wiki.irisa.fr/. We encourage you to - have your say about these proposals and tell us if you plan to participate - propose evaluations for other types of data (e.g. biomedical, images, telecoms, etc) For more information, see http://sisec.wiki.irisa.fr/. Best regards, Emmanuel Vincent, Shoko Araki and Pau Bofill > *** FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION *** > > 1st Community-based Signal Separation > Evaluation Campaign > (SiSEC 2008) > > http://sisec.wiki.irisa.fr/ > > Evaluation proposal deadline: July 25, 2008 > > > Do you have an algorithm for source separation of e.g. audio, > biomedical, astromomical or image data? Or are you interested in this > challenging issue? Then you should take part in the first > community-based endeavor for the evaluation of source separation > algorithms. > > Building upon previous initiatives, this campaign aims to let > researchers discuss and agree over all aspects of evaluation, including > datasets and evaluation criteria. We organizers will address the > time-consuming issues of collecting and evaluating the results submitted > by all participants. > > As a first step, we are issuing a call for evaluation proposals. A > second call for the submission of separation results will follow. > > A proposal should consist of at least: > - a title > - suggestions for relevant data (including how they might be obtained > and possible copyright issues) > - a short description of the task(s) to be addressed, with reference > software blocks for each task if available, so as to help newcomers > participate > - suggestions for evaluation criteria > - a list of potential participants (names, email addresses) > > Two audio datasets are already proposed as a starting point. All > proposals should be disseminated and discussed with potential > participants before July 25, 2008. > > Interested individuals are encouraged to join the SiSEC mailing list at > https://listes.irisa.fr/sympa/info/sisec.
