Subject: [AUDITORY] Essentia becomes open source and receives an ACM Multimedia award From: Ming Li <liming.ioa@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2013 22:34:32 +0800 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--bcaec5485a98c2603d04e9ce002c Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=bcaec5485a98c2603804e9ce002a --bcaec5485a98c2603804e9ce002a Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Good news for all. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Serra Xavier <xavier.serra@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 9:53 PM Subject: [MUSIC-IR] Essentia becomes open source and receives an ACM Multimedia award To: list mailing music-ir <music-ir@xxxxxxxx> Essentia, http://essentia.upf.edu/, an audio analysis software library developed at the MTG over the past eight years becomes open source and wins the Open-Source Software Competition of ACM Multimedia 2013. Essentia is a C++ library for audio analysis and audio-based music information retrieval released under the Affero GPLv3 license. It contains an extensive collection of reusable algorithms which implement audio input/output functionality, standard digital signal processing blocks, statistical characterization of data, and a large set of spectral, temporal, tonal and high-level music descriptors. Essentia is behind a number of commercial applications and has been used in many academic research projects. It is responsible for the audio similarity search functionality of http://freesound.org. The Open-Source Software Competition takes place every year at the ACM Multimedia conference <http://acmmm13.org>, this year in Barcelona. The criteria for judging all submissions include broad applicability and potential impact, novelty, technical depth, demo suitability, and other miscellaneous factors (e.g., maturity, popularity, student-led, no dependence on closed source, etc.). We presented Essentia for the first time at a conference and we are very proud about the award. Essentia will be presented at ISMIR (read the paper at http://mtg.upf.edu/node/2793) and you can download the source code and compilation instructions from https://github.com/MTG/essentia.
