Subject: Re: Community-based Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign Reminder From: Emmanuel Vincent <emmanuel.vincent@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 09:37:41 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear colleagues, Hendrik Kayser and Jörn Anemüller from Oldenburg have proposed a new evaluation track for the separation of "head-geometry mixtures of two speech sources in real environments, impinging from many directions". For more details, see http://sisec.wiki.irisa.fr/ This evaluation should be of interest to many of you. If you're considering to participate, please have you say on the above wiki and on the mailing list sisec@xxxxxxxx Best regards, -- Emmanuel Vincent METISS Project-Team IRISA-INRIA Campus de Beaulieu, 35042 Rennes cedex, France Phone: +332 9984 2269 - Fax: +332 9984 7171 Web: http://www.irisa.fr/metiss/members/evincent/ Emmanuel Vincent wrote: > 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?
