The workshop aims to provide a venue for researchers working on computational analysis of sound events and scene analysis to present and discuss their results. We aim to bring together researchers from many different universities and companies with interest in the topic, and provide the opportunity for scientific exchange of ideas and opinions.
The technical program will include invited speakers on the topic of computational everyday sound analysis and recognition, and oral and poster presentations of accepted papers. The workshop is organized as a satellite event to the 2016 European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO), taking place in Budapest, Hungary. The workshop is held on Saturday 3rd of September, as EUSIPCO is ending on Friday, allowing the EUSIPCO participants to easily take part to the workshop.
We invite submissions on the topics of computational analysis of acoustic scenes and sound events. Topics of interest include:
- Acoustic scene classification
- Sound event detection
- Environmental sound recognition
- Signal processing methods for environmental audio scene analysis
- Machine learning methods for environmental sound analysis
- Computational auditory scene analysis
The results of the Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events (DCASE) challenge 2016 will also be announced at the workshop.
Dr Sacha Krstulović was born in France and received his engineering degree from the ESTACA (Levallois-Perret, France) in 1996. He received his PhD from the EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) in 2001, for research focusing on introducing articulatory constraints in acoustic speech modelling. He then joined the IRISA in France until 2006 as a Research Engineer in the field of Automatic Speaker Recognition and Sparse Signal Modelling, then the DFKI in Germany until 2007, where he contributed to building one of the first HMM-based speech synthesizers for the German language. He then joined Toshiba Research Europe Ltd in Cambridge as a Research Engineer to keep working on multilingual HMM-based speech synthesis, then Nuance’s Advanced Speech Group in 2011 to come back to the field of Automatic Speech Recognition. Since 2012, he has been the lead technologist at Audio Analytic Ltd, first as the Lead Research Engineer and later as the Vice President of Technology, to push the limits of the pioneering domain of Audio Event Detection, a domain in which Audio Analytic has now reached a world leading position.
