Call for Participation: The INTERSPEECH 2021 Computational Paralinguistics ChallengE (ComParE) - COVID-19 Cough, COVID-19 Speech, Escalation & Primates
http://www.compare.openaudio.eu/now/ Interspeech ComParE is an open Challenge dealing with states and traits of speakers as manifested in their speech signal’s properties. In this 13th edition, we introduce four new tasks and Sub-Challenges: • COVID-19 Cough based recognition, • COVID-19 Speech based recognition, • Escalation level assessment in spoken dialogues, • Primates classification based on their vocalisations. Sub-Challenges allow contributors to find their own features with their own machine learning algorithm. However, a standard feature set and tools including recent deep learning approaches are provided that may be used. Participants have five trials on the test set per Sub-Challenge. Participation has to be accompanied by a paper presenting the results that undergoes the Interspeech peer-review. Contributions using the provided or equivalent data are sought for (but not limited to): • Participation in a Sub-Challenge • Contributions around the Challenge topics Results of the Challenge and Prizes will be presented at Interspeech 2021 in Brno, Czechia.
