Call for Late Breaking Demo Papers

The AIMLA LBDP is a session for showcasing prototype systems and early research results that are not yet fully developed but are highly relevant to the conference theme. To secure a spot for LBDP, participants must submit a 2-page extended abstract that adheres to the following submission guidelines. At least one author should register for the conference and present their work as a poster in person during the main track poster session. The presentation should focus on technical contributions and avoid being overly commercial. A demonstration is optional. If the demonstration requires additional equipment (such as monitors), please note this on the submission page. The extended abstracts will be published on the AIMLA website before the conference starts.

ATTENTION: Authors whose full papers are accepted at the main track of the conference can reserve a spot for a demo. There is no need to submit a separate extended abstract unless the demo includes materials that extend beyond what has been covered in the full papers. To acquire a demo space, please contact the LBDP chair and provide all the details.

 

Important dates

Submission open: July 1st
Submission deadline: August 1st
Camera-ready deadline: August 24th

Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The acceptance notification will be sent out within two weeks after submission.

 

Submission guidelines

  • Ensure to use the templates available in either the attached Late Breaking Demo Paper LaTex or Word format only. They have been modified specifically for this submission type.
  • The extended abstract should be no more than two pages, including references and acknowledgements.
  • Submissions should not be anonymized.
  • The submission will be reviewed based on the formatting, technical contributions, and suitability to the conference theme.
  • Resubmitting a rejected paper is not allowed and will be desk-rejected.
  • Please submit the paper to the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=2025aesaimlalbdp

Call for Challenges (closed)

The AES AI and ML for Audio conference promotes knowledge sharing among researchers, professionals, and engineers in AI and audio. Special Sessions include pre-conference challenges hosted by industry or academic teams to drive technology improvements and explore new research directions. Each team manages the organization, data provision, participation instructions, mentoring, scoring, summaries, and results presentation. Challenges are selected based on their scientific and technological significance, data quality and relevance, and proposal feasibility. Collaborative proposals from different labs are encouraged and prioritized. We expect an initial expression of interest via mail to special-sessions-aimla@qmul.ac.uk by October 15, 2024, followed by a full submission on EasyChair by the final submission deadline.
