SoundSoftware paper accepted for ICASSP 2012

We've had a paper accepted for the International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2012), the leading IEEE international signal processing conference.

If you're planning to attend, we hope to see you there!

Our paper is:

Chris Cannam, Luís A. Figueira, and Mark D. Plumbley, Sound Software: Towards Software Reuse in Audio and Music Research. To appear in the IEEE 2012 International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2012), 25-30 March 2012, Kyoto, Japan.

Abstract:

Although researchers are increasingly aware of the need to publish and maintain software code alongside their results, practical barriers prevent this from happening in many cases. We examine these barriers, propose an incremental approach to overcoming some of them, and describe the Sound Software project, an effort to support software development practice in the UK audio and music research community. Finally we make some recommendations for research groups seeking to improve their own researchers’ software practice.

The accepted preprint of the paper is attached below.

MLSP Prizes for Reproducibility: Winners announced!

Announcing the winners of the MLSP 2014 and SoundSoftware.ac.uk Prizes for Reproducibility in Signal Processing, organised by SoundSoftware.ac.uk in conjuction with the IEEE Signal Processing Society for the 2014 IEEE International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing.

SoundSoftware 2014: Videos now available!

The SoundSoftware 2014 workshop, our third annual workshop on software and data in audio and music research, was just as enjoyable as the previous two. Because so much research in this field ends up being expressed through software, a software workshop turns out to be all about the means by which research becomes useful and relevant to people other than the original researchers—fertile ground for interesting and thought-provoking talks.

The workshop videos are now available online at http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/soundsoftware2014, so if you weren't able to make it in person, catch up here!

Our third annual one-day workshop on Software and Data for Audio and Music Research takes place on the 8th of July 2014 at Queen Mary, University of London. The workshop includes talks on issues such as robust software development for audio and music research, reproducible research in general, management of research data, and open access.
