Subject: [AUDITORY] Deadline Extension: Semantic Audio Conference From: George Fazekas <gyorgy.fazekas@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 15:24:38 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail=_F13F8A7C-8778-4BA7-BD13-B076A37D299F Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Dear Auditory list members, Due to popular demand, I'm pleased to announce a deadline extension for = the submission of full papers to the Semantic Audio Conference.

We also have an enriched programme, and a new = travel bursary for winners of the reproducible research prize. Please see all details in the updated call for papers below. Best wishes, George Apologies for cross-posting. Please circulate widely. *************************************************************** News:=20 * Paper deadline extended: September 25, 2013. September 15, 2013. * Now well over two weeks left to submit full papers and five weeks to = submit demo proposals. * Up to 1000 GBP travel bursary is included in the Prize for = Reproducible Research * We are pleased to announce two new invited speakers: Tuomas Eerola and = Xavier Serra * Date of our tutorial day announced: January 26. 2014. * The conference is sponsored by the Danish strategic research project: = CoSound *** Audio Engineering Society 53rd conference on Semantic Audio *** London, UK, January 27-29, 2014. Tutorial day: January 26, 2014. Chairs: Karlheinz Brandenburg and Mark Sandler, Email: = 53rd_chair@xxxxxxxx Semantic Audio is concerned with content-based management of digital = audio recordings. The rapid evolution of digital audio technologies, = e.g. audio data compression and streaming, the availability of large = audio libraries online and offline, and recent developments in = content-based audio retrieval have significantly changed the way digital = audio is created, processed, and consumed. New audio content can be = produced at lower cost, while also large audio archives at libraries or = record labels are opening to the public. Thus the sheer amount of = available audio data grows more and more each day. Semantic analysis of = audio resulting in high-level metadata descriptors such as musical = chords and tempo, or the identification of speakers facilitate = content-based management of audio recordings. Aside from audio retrieval = and recommendation technologies, the semantics of audio signals are also = becoming increasingly important, for instance, in object-based audio = coding, as well as intelligent audio editing, and processing. Recent = product releases already demonstrate this to a great extent, however, = more innovative functionalities relying on semantic audio analysis and = management are imminent.

This conference will give a broad overview of the state of the art and = address many of the new scientific disciplines involved in this = still-emerging field. Our purpose is to continue fostering this line of = interdisciplinary research. This is reflected by the wide variety of = invited speakers presenting at the conference.
