Subject: [AUDITORY] Fwd: ICBHI 2017 Scientific Challenge - Call for participation From: Bruno Rocha <brunomachadorocha@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2017 13:43:43 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--f403045ef6545dd97a054b51f58f Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 *International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics* *18-21 November, 2017* *Thessaloniki, Greece* http://icbhi.med.auth.gr/ Dear colleagues, We are thrilled to announce the first edition of the ICBHI Scientific Challenge. This Scientific Challenge aims to encourage the development of algorithms for respiratory sound analysis. The goal is to classify, for each respiratory cycle of a sound recording, whether that respiratory cycle contains adventitious sounds, such as crackles and wheezes. To develop solutions for the challenge, participants have access to a respiratory sound database containing various events (e.g., noise, cough, wheezes, crackles) collected from healthy subjects and patients with different respiratory disorders. The events were annotated by health professionals. We encourage you to register and submit your solution to the challenge web site, as well as submit a paper related to your solution. For a full description of the challenge, as well as rules and deadlines, please visit http://bhichallenge.med.auth.gr *Important Dates:* Unofficial phase: 1 February - 1 July 2017 Abstract submission: 5 July 2017 Official phase and paper submission: 1 September - 1 October 2017 Best regards, The Scientific Challenge Team --f403045ef6545dd97a054b51f58f Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_quote"><b style=3D"text-align:justify;= font-size:12.8px"><span lang=3D"EN-US" style=3D"color:rgb(51,51,51);backgro= und-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;backg= round-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><fo= nt face=3D"arial, helvetica, sans-serif">International=C2=A0Conference=C2= =A0on Biomedical and Health Informatics</font></span></b><div dir=3D"ltr"><= div style=3D"font-size:12.8px;border-top:none;border-right:none;border-left= :none;border-bottom:2.25pt double windowtext;padding:0cm 0cm 1pt"><p class= =3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"text-align:justify;line-height:19.2px;border:none;p= adding:0cm"><b><span lang=3D"EN-US" style=3D"color:rgb(51,51,51);background= -image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;backgrou= nd-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><font = face=3D"arial, helvetica, sans-serif">18-21 November, 2017<u></u><u></u></f= ont></span></b></p><p class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"text-align:justify;line-= height:19.2px;border:none;padding:0cm"><b><span lang=3D"EN-US" style=3D"col= or:rgb(51,51,51);background-image:initial;background-position:initial;backg= round-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;back= ground-clip:initial"><font face=3D"arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Thessaloni= ki, Greece<u></u><u></u></font></span></b></p><p class=3D"MsoNormal" style= =3D"text-align:justify;line-height:19.2px;border:none;padding:0cm"><font fa= ce=3D"arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><a href=3D"http://icbhi.med.auth.gr/" t= arget=3D"_blank"><span lang=3D"EN-US">http://icbhi.med.auth.gr/</span></a><= span lang=3D"EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p><p class=3D"MsoNormal" = style=3D"text-align:justify;line-height:19.2px;border:none;padding:0cm"><br= ></p></div><p class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"font-size:12.8px;text-align:just= ify;line-height:19.2px"><br></p><div>Dear colleagues,</div><div><br></div><= div>We are thrilled to announce the first edition of the ICBHI Scientific C= hallenge.
