SiSEC 2008 REMINDER: 18 days left to try your source separation system

[Emmanuel Vincent <emmanuel.vincent@xxxxxxxx>]

                *** LAST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ***

               1st Community-based Signal Separation
                        Evaluation Campaign
                            (SiSEC 2008)

                    http://sisec.wiki.irisa.fr/

               Submission deadline: October 31, 2008


SiSEC is the first community-based endeavor for the evaluation of source
separation algorithms. Following a first call, four datasets have been
proposed by researchers in the field:
- Under-determined speech and music mixtures
- Determined and over-determined speech mixtures
- Head-geometry mixtures of two speech sources in real environments
- Professionally produced music recordings

Basic software blocks are provided to help you build your own system.

Help make this evaluation the most complete yet by trying your source
separation system over one or more datasets and submitting the results 
before october 31, 2008. For more details and submission guidelines, see 
http://sisec.wiki.irisa.fr/.

In addition, we encourage you to submit before november 15, 2008, a 
paper describing your system to the Special Session on SiSEC to be held 
at the 8th International Conference on Independent Component Analysis 
and Signal Separation (ICA 2009). Accepted papers will be published in 
the proceedings of the conference edited by Springer. For more details 
about ICA 2009 and paper submission, see http://ica2009.org/.

Best regards,

Emmanuel Vincent, Shoko Araki and Pau Bofill
