SiSEC 2010

Welcome to the main page for the second community-based Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign (SiSEC 2010). SiSEC aims to be a large-scale regular campaign building upon the experience of previous evaluation campaigns and first community-based Signal Separation Evaluation Campaign (SiSEC 2008).　
The unique aspect of this campaign is that, SiSEC is not a competition but a scientific evaluation from which we can draw rigorous scientific conclusions.


The 9th International Conference on Latent Variable Analysis and Signal Processing (LVA/ICA 2010) will feature a special session on SiSEC 2010.

Researchers entering the campaign are encouraged to submit a paper to LVA/ICA 2010 describing their approach. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference.
In addition, entrants not wishing to submit a paper will have the opportunity to present a poster about their approach. All posters are welcome, in the limit of available space. In order to present a poster, you must submit an abstract before July 31 (see LVA/ICA2010 website).

Tasks

• Audio source separation
• fMRI or/and microarray data separation
• EEG data extraction

The wiki-pages could be changed according to e.g., the feedback from participants. So, we recommend you revisit this wiki-page occasionally, in order to check for changes.

Mailing list

Interested individuals are encouraged to join the SiSEC mailing list at https://listes.irisa.fr/sympa/info/sisec
Announcements (including on the revision to the datasets, reference software, submission information, etc.) and discussions related to the SiSEC2010 will be provided through the SiSEC mailing list.
