Call for Participation
ACM Multimedia 2022 Computational Paralinguistics Challenge (ComParE)
Vocalisations, Stuttering, Activity, & Mosquitos

The ACM Multimedia 2022 Computational Paralinguistics ChallengE (ComParE) is an 
open Grand Challenge dealing with states and traits of speakers as manifested 
in their speech signal’s properties and beyond. There have so far been twelve 
consecutive Challenges held annually at INTERSPEECH 2009 – 2021 (cf. the 
repository<http://compare.openaudio.eu/>), but there still exists a 
multiplicity of not yet covered, but highly relevant paralinguistic phenomena. 
Thus, we introduce four new tasks by the Vocalisations Sub-Challenge, the 
Stuttering Sub-Challenge, the Activity Sub-Challenge, and the Mosquitos 
Sub-Challenge (see also for the data 
descriptions<http://www.compare.openaudio.eu/data/>). For the tasks, the data 
are provided by the organisers. The Sub-Challenges are generally open for 
participation. This year also features human movement data and animal sounds.


The ACM Multimedia 2022 Computational Paralinguistics Challenge (ComParE) shall 
help bridging the gap between excellent research on paralinguistic information 
in audio and other modalities and low compatibility of results. The results of 
the Challenge will be presented at ACM Multimedia 
2022<https://www.interspeech2021.org/> in Lisbon. Prizes will be awarded to the 
Sub-Challenge winners.

If you are interested and planning to participate in the Computational 
Paralinguistics Challenge, or if you want to be kept informed about the 
Challenge, please send the organisers an 
e-mail<mailto:bjoern.schul...@imperial.ac.uk> to indicate your interest.

To get started:

Please register your team by email to
Christian Bergler: christian.berg...@fau.de<mailto:christian.berg...@fau.de> .

Then, please obtain the according End-User License Agreements (EULAs) to get a 
password and further instructions for the download of the datasets: Please fill 
out electronically the PDF for the dataset(s) you wish to obtain, and print, 
sign, scan, and email - to the email addresses given on the agreements - both 
the electronic version and the scans accordingly to ease handling. The 
agreement(s) has/have to be signed by a permanent staff member.

To obtain the EULAs, please contact per Sub-Challenge:
Vocalisations Sub-Challenge: Natalie Holz: 
natalie.h...@ae.mpg.de<mailto:natalie.h...@ae.mpg.de>
Stuttering Sub-Challenge: Sebastian Bayerl: 
sebastian.bay...@th-nuernberg.de<mailto:sebastian.bay...@th-nuernberg.de>
Activity Sub-Challenge: Adria Mallol-Ragolta: 
adria.mallol-rago...@informatik.uni-augsburg.de<mailto:adria.mallol-rago...@informatik.uni-augsburg.de>
Mosquitos Sub-Challenge: Ivan Kiskin: 
ivankisk...@gmail.com<mailto:ivankisk...@gmail.com>

After downloading the data you can directly start your experiments with the 
data sets. Once you found your best method you should write your paper for the 
Grand Challenge. At the same time, you can compute your results per instance 
and Sub-Challenge task on the test set and upload them: we will then let you 
know your performance result.

If you have questions, ideally contact all of the General Chairs (see above).
