Subject: Re: [MUSIC-IR] Call for Expressions of Interest on AASP Challenge From: "Boris Defreville (ORELIA)" <boris.defreville@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2012 15:35:20 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--f46d042e0255a7dc2004c65c9a4f Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Congratutaltion for setting this challenge. I'am sure it will represent a wonderfull scientific basement for researchers in this area. So I catch the ball on the bounce and announce the creation of a Linkedin group dedicated to audio analytics : http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Audio-Analytics-4543653 It could be a good place to complement the discussion on real world applications of CASA.
