The 21st International Conference on Content-based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI 2024) takes place September 18-20 in Reykjavik, Iceland.

We are delighted to have, as part of the conference, a Special Session on Audio entitled: Content based Indexing for audio and music: from analysis to synthesis 

Abstract: Audio has long been a key component of multimedia research. As far as indexing is concerned, the research and industrial context has changed drastically in the last 20 years or so. Today, applications of audio indexing range from karaoke applications to singing voice synthesis and creative audio design. This special session aims at bringing together researchers that aim at proposing new tools or paradigms to investigate audio and music processing in the context of indexation and corpus-based generation.
