The 10th Workshop on Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events, DCASE 2025, will be held in Barcelona on 30-31 October. The day before, 29th of October, the satellite event BioDCASE (dedicated to bioacoustics) will take place in the same venue.
As in previous years, the workshop is organized in conjunction with the DCASE challenge. We aim to bring together researchers from many different universities, research organizations and companies with an interest in the topic, and provide the opportunity for scientific exchange of ideas and opinions.
We invite submissions on the topics of computational analysis of acoustic scenes and sound events, including but not limited to:
Tasks in computational environmental audio analysis
Environmental audio classification and tagging
Sound event detection and localization
Audio captioning and natural language based audio retrieval
Bio-acoustics
Environmental audio generation
Anomalous sound detection
Audio source separation
Methods for computational environmental audio analysis
Signal processing and auditory-motivated methods
Multimodal methods
Machine learning methods: e.g. feature learning, self-supervised learning, foundation modeling for environmental audio
Cross-disciplinary methods involving, e.g., acoustics, biology, psychology, geography, materials science, transports science
Generative modeling
Perceptual analysis and modeling of acoustic environments
Resources, applications, and evaluations of computational environmental-audio analysis
Publicly available datasets: e.g., multichannel dataset, noisy dataset, missing dataset, mismatch device dataset
Publicly available software, taxonomies, and ontologies, evaluation procedures
Modeling, simulation, and synthesis of realistic acoustic scenes
Ethics, privacy, responsible research
Applications
We strongly encourage reproducible research with open-source code and open data, though it is not mandatory.
Important notice for challenge participants: Description of systems submitted to the DCASE2025 Challenge is expected to be expanded from the challenge technical report submissions to comply with the format of a scientific paper. This generally means describing the scientific novelty and including more discussions such as ablation studies for additional modules in your method.
