SiSEC 2017 - 6th Community-Based Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign (SiSEC 2017)

Following the success of the five previous editions, we are glad to
announce the launch of the SiSEC 2016 campaign for the evaluation of
source separation algorithms. This campaign is open to anyone, whether
you are an expert or a newcomer, you are interested in e.g. audio,
biomedical signal or image processing, and your algorithm relies on
prior information or not.
SiSEC 2016 is held in conjunction of the LVA/ICA 2017 conference,
to be held in Grenoble, France, on February 21-23 2017:
http://www.gipsa-lab.fr/colloque/LVA-ICA/
SiSEC is community-based endeavor: all aspects of evaluation,
including datasets and evaluation criteria, are to be agreed between
the participants. We organizers will collect the results submitted by
all participants.
As a starting point, four audio tasks are proposed this SiSEC:
- Underdetermined speech and music mixtures (UND)
- Two-channel mixtures of speech and real-world background noise (BGN)
- Professionally produced music recordings (MUS) *** New data! ***
- Asynchronous recordings of speech mixtures (ASY)
A biomedical signal separation task is also envisionned.
If you wish to participate or comment upon the proposed tasks, you can
post your comments on https://sisec.inria.fr/
You are also most welcome to propose a new task for this SiSEC if you
feel there is an important aspect of signal separation that could raise
interest of a research community. If this new task is accepted by the
SiSEC committee, it will be included in this SiSEC.
