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: - Deadline for paper submission: September 7, 2009 - Notification of acceptance: September 21, 2009 - Camera-ready paper submission: October 12, 2009 For the full Call For Papers and further information on the workshop, please visit http://lsas2009.dke-research.de
