The Audio Engineering Society invites audio researchers and practitioners, from academia and industry to participate in the first AES conference dedicated to artificial intelligence and machine learning, as it applies to audio. This 3-day event, aims to bring the community together, educate, demonstrate and advance the state of the art. It will feature keynote speakers, workshops, tutorials, challenges and cutting-edge peer-reviewed research.
The scope is wide – expecting attendance from all types of institutions, including academia, industry, and pure research, with diverse disciplinary perspectives – but tied together by a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning for audio.
Original contributions are encouraged in, but not limited to the following topics:

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.
