A regular paper may be submitted on the SiSEC track of LVA/ICA (see date= s below) See more information at http://cvssp.org/events/lva-ica-2018/ ----------------------------------------------- Following the success of the six previous editions, we are glad to announce the launch of the SiSEC 2018 campaign for the evaluation of source separation algorithms. This campaign is open to anyone, whether you are an expert or a newcomer, and whether your algorithm relies on prior information or not. This year, SiSEC features two audio tasks: 1) Professionally produced music recordings (MUS), Following the success of the previous editions, we worked a lot to improve the music separation task. This year's edition includes: - An augmented dataset, with 100 full songs for training, 50 songs for test, all mixed professionally in stereo, for anyone to use. - This year, all the data is encoded in the Native Instruments STEMS format, yielding only 4.4gb for 150 tracks, while maintaining trans- parent quality. - A set of Python tools to load, parse, and use the dataset easily. An easy-to-use standalone utility is also provided to convert the data to WAV if needed. - Baseline scripts implementing oracle methods, including Ideal Binary Mask, Ideal Ratio Mask, and Multichannel Wiener Filter. - Submission will be automated, and analysis plots will be generated automatically. 2) Asynchronous recordings of speech mixtures (ASY), runs with the same datasets and metrics as SiSEC 2015.
