Subject: [AUDITORY] DCASE Workshop 2021: Call for Papers From: Frederic Font Corbera <frederic.font@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2021 12:09:00 +0200--00000000000092dcf405c3b1889a Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" *** Apologies for cross postings *** *** Please forward this message to other interested colleagues *** The 6th Workshop on Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events, DCASE 2021, will be held in Online on November 15-19, 2021: http://dcase.community/workshop2021/ As in the previous years, the workshop is organized in conjunction with the DCASE challenge. We aim to bring together researchers from many different universities and companies with an interest in the topics, and provide an opportunity for scientific exchange of ideas and opinions. The technical program will include invited talks, and oral and poster presentations of accepted papers. In addition, a special poster session will be dedicated to the DCASE 2021 challenge entries and results. We invite submissions on the topics of computational analysis of acoustic scenes and sound events, including but not limited to: *Tasks in computational environmental audio analysis* - Acoustic scene classification and event detection - Anomalous sound detection - Sound event detection and localization - Sound event detection and separation - Audio tagging - Automated audio captioning - Challenges in real-life applications (e.g., rare events, overlapping sound events, weak labels) *Methods for computational environmental audio analysis* - Signal processing methods - Machine learning methods - Auditory-motivated methods - Cross-disciplinary methods involving, e.g., acoustics, biology, psychology, geography, material science, transport science *Resources, applications, and evaluations of computational environmental-audio analysis* - Publicly available datasets or software, taxonomies and ontologies, evaluation procedures - Ethics, privacy, responsible research - Applications - Description of systems submitted to the DCASE 2021 Challenge, *expanded from the challenge technical report submissions to include more discussions such as ablation studies for additional modules in your method.* We strongly encourage reproducible research with open-source code and open data, though it is not mandatory. Important notice for challenge participants: Note that whereas each DCASE challenge submission must be accompanied by a technical report describing the system, in order to be considered for presentation at the peer-reviewed workshop, such a report must be augmented with a careful analysis thereof to guarantee fair conditions to non-challenge submissions which provide meaningful and usable insight. *Important dates* - 13 July 2021: Workshop abstract submission deadline - 20 July 2021: Workshop paper submission deadline - 13 September 2021: Notification of paper acceptance - 15-19 November 2021: Workshop (online) We look forward to receiving your submissions! *General chairs* Frederic Font, Universitat Pompeu Fabra Xavier Serra, Universitat Pompeu Fabra *Technical program chairs* Annamaria Mesaros, Tampere University Daniel P.
