We are pleased to announce the launch of the 1st DAFx Parameter Estimation Challenge! The competition focuses on two tasks: Task A: estimation of physical parameters of a plate reverb model from its impulse response Task B: estimation of modal parameters (frequency, decay, amplitude) from its impulse response Participation is open to individuals, academic groups and industry teams; each team may submit up to two distinct proposals per task. We encourage the submission of any sort of estimation algorithm! Timeline highlights: the challenge is now open for researchers to start experimenting. The target dataset will be released on 6 April 2026, and submissions are due by 31 May 2026; results will be announced at DAFx26 (1-4 September 2026). To participate, please consult the documentation in the GitHub repo<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/LOGUNIVPM/1st-DAFx-Challenge__;!!BDUfV1Et5lrpZQ!U0-y5fmFuZHBFkTunTVs30iXy3X-cmkdFQO3UpxgSUk14phYP0urgKfOoOyjKsNGVoy04ox-jZlBa46f99yOv5gqyTo7Zihfe2e1LA$ > for detailed instructions on installation, dataset generation, submission format and evaluation metrics.
