Last CALL for APPLICATION / PARTICIPATION * Extended deadlines * ** Workshop on Machine Learning for Bioacoustics **
joint to the 30th Internat. Conf. on Machine Learning ICML 2013 20-21 June 2013, Atlanta http://sabiod.univ-tln.fr/**icml2013/index.html<http://sabiod.univ-tln.fr/icml2013/index.html> Machine Learning (ML) will become central in biodiversity assessment. This is a highly complex & challenging task, which involves the application of both discriminative & generative approaches. We are pleased to announce this CFP for the workshop Machine Learning for Bioacoustics under the ICML conference, which is an annual, highly regarded conference in the machine learning community. The workshop is comprised of : a) A regular paper submission regarding common bioacoustic topics such as species classification, localization, detection and others. b) A technical challenge on avian and/or marine mammal data, including a prize for the winners. Metadata such as phylogenetic trees and weather are given to enhance your classification. Important Dates (extended) = Regular submission for general papers<http://sabiod.univ-tln.fr/icml2013/call_for_papers.html> deadline: May 12 (Author notification: May 16) Technical challenge run submission<http://sabiod.univ-tln.fr/icml2013/challenge_description.html> deadline: May 15 (Publication of the results of submitted run, & the groundtruth: May 22) Submission of working notes on your runs : May 30 Keynote speakers will provide informative presentations regarding state of the art methodologies in both the bioacoustic and machine learning fields.
