Call for short and long paper contributions for ACM Multimedia 2014 - 
Area on Music, Speech, and Audio Processing in Multimedia 
November 3-7, 2014 Orlando, Florida, USA 
(For general information and information on other areas check http://www.acmmm.org/2014/) 
As a core part of multimedia data, the acoustic modality is of great importance as a source of 
information that is orthogonal to other modalities like video or text. This allows for richer
 information to be extracted when performing content analysis, as well as a rich mean of 
communication of information. We are seeking strong technical submissions revolving around 
music, speech and audio processing in multimedia. One topic of interest is submissions
 performing an analysis of the acoustic signals in order to extract information from multimedia 
content (e.g. what notes are being played, what is being said, or what sounds appear), or the 
context (e.g. language spoken, age and gender of the speaker, localization using sound). 
Another topic of interest is submissions performing synthesis of acoustic content for multimedia 
purposes (e.g. speech synthesis, singing voices, acoustic scene synthesis). Furthermore, we are 
also interested in ways to represent acoustic data as multimedia; for example, in symbolic form
 (e.g. closed captioning of speech), in the form of sensor input and visual images (e.g. recordings
 of gestures in musical performances). or others. Another topic of interest is applications that 
involve the acoustic modality. The inclusion of acoustics opens up interesting possibilities for 
novel multimedia interfaces and user interactions. In addition, contextual, social and affective 
aspects play an important role when using acoustics, which can be seen, for example, in the 
consumption and enjoyment of music, and the sound design of cinematic productions.
 All submissions should maintain a clear relation to multimedia: there either should be an 
explicit relation to multimedia items, applications or systems, or an application of a multimedia 
perspective, in which information sources from different modalities are considered. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 · Multimedia audio analysis and synthesis · Multimedia audio indexing, search, and retrieval
 · Music, speech, and audio annotation, similarity measures, and evaluation 
· Multimodal and multimedia approaches to music, speech, and audio
 · Multimodal and multimedia context models for music, speech, and audio 
· Computational approaches to music, speech, and audio inspired by other domains (e.g. 
computer vision, information retrieval, musicology, psychology) 
· Multimedia localization using acoustic information 
· Social data, user models and personalization in music, speech, and audio 
· Music, audio, and aural aspects in multimedia user interfaces
 · Algorithms and applications of music, speech, and audio
 · New and interactive musical instruments, systems and other music, speech, and audio 
applications · Novel interaction interfaces using/with music, speech, and audio 
· Music, speech, and audio coding, transmission, and storage for multimedia applications 
Deadlines for long papers is March 31st, 2014 and for short papers is April 14th, 2014
