CALL FOR PAPERS

The Workshop on Learning the Semantics of Audio Signals (LSAS) focuses
especially on researchers that are working on semantics, description,
representation and understanding of music with the goal to intensify the
exchange of ideas between the different research communities involved,
to provide an overview of current activities in this area and to point
out connections between them. Therefore, the topics of interest include,
but are not limited to the following aspects with respect to music
information retrieval systems:

- Audio signal processing and feature extraction
- Content-based audio retrieval
- Music perception, cognition, affect and emotions
- Music structure analysis
- Semantic audio description and analysis
- Ontologies for music and sound description
- Standards for audio content description
- Machine learning methods for feature extraction and mapping
- Personalization of music retrieval systems

While our main focus is on music data, we are also interested on work
related to other audio data such as speech.

Important dates:

- Deadline for paper submission: April 20th 2008
- Notification of acceptance: May 27th 2008
- Camera-ready paper submission: June 8th 2008
