Submission


Instructions

The submission deadline is July 31st 2018 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE)

Introduction

Challenge submission consists in submission package (one zip-package) containing system outputs, system meta information, and technical report (pdf file). The technical report can be the same as your DCASE2018 Workshop submission, but please use the template provided for each.

Submission process shortly:

  1. Participants run their system with evaluation dataset, and produce the system output in specified format. Participants are allowed to submit 4 different system outputs per task or subtask (except in Task2, where participants are allowed to submit 2).
  2. Participants create a meta information file to go along the system output to describe the system used to produce this particular output. Meta information file has a predefined format to help the automatic handling of the challenge submissions. Information provided in the meta file will be later used to produce challenge results.
  3. Participants describe their system in a technical report in sufficient detail. There is a template provided for the technical report.
  4. Participants prepare the submission package (zip-file). The submission package contains system outputs, maximum 4 per task, systems meta information and the technical report.
  5. Participants submit the submission package and the technical report to DCASE2018 Challenge.

Please read carefully the requirements for the files included in the submission package!

Submission system

The submission system is now available:

Submission system

  • Create user account and login
  • Go to "All Conferences" tab in the system and type DCASE to filter the list
  • Create a new submission by selecting DCASE2018 challenge in the dropdown menu

Submission package

Participants are instructed to pack their system output(s), system meta information, and technical report into one zip-package. Example package:


Please prepare your submission zip-file as the provided example. Follow the same file structure and fill meta information with similar structure as the one in *.meta.yaml -files. The zip-file should contain system outputs for all tasks/subtasks, maximum 4 submissions per task/subtask, separate meta information for each system, and technical report(s) covering all submitted systems.

If you submit similar systems for multiple tasks, you can describe everything in one technical report. If your approaches for different tasks are significantly different, prepare one technical report for each and include it in the corresponding task folder.

More detailed instructions for constructing the package can be found in the following sections. Technical report template is available here.

Submission label

Submission label is used to index all your submissions (systems per tasks). To avoid overlapping labels among all submitted systems, use following way to form your label:

[Last name of corresponding author]_[Abbreviation of institute of the corresponding author]_task[task number][subtask letter (optional)]_[index number of your submission (1-4)]

For example the baseline systems would have the following labels:

  • Heittola_TUT_task1a_1
  • Heittola_TUT_task1b_1
  • Heittola_TUT_task1c_1
  • Fonseca_UPF_task2_1
  • Stowell_QMUL_task3_1
  • Serizel_ULO_task4_1
  • Dekkers_KUL_task5_1

Package structure

Make sure your zip-package follows provided file naming convention and directory structure:

System outputs

Participants must submit the results for the provided evaluation datasets.

  • Follow the system output format specified in the task description.

  • Tasks are independent. You can participate to a single task or multiple tasks.

  • Multiple submissions for the same task are allowed (maximum 4 per task, except in Task2 where only 2 are allowed). Use a running index in the submission label, and give more detailed names for the submitted systems in the system meta information files. Please mark carefully the connection between the submitted systems and system parameters description in the technical report (for example by referring to the systems by using the submission label or system name given in the system meta information file).

  • Submitted system outputs will be published online on the DCASE2018 website later to allow future evaluations.

Technical report

All participants are expected to submit a technical report about the submitted system, to help the DCASE community better understand how the algorithm works.

Technical reports are not peer-reviewed. The technical reports will be published on the challenge website together with all other information about the submitted system. For the technical report it is not necessary to follow closely the scientific publication structure (for example there is no need for extensive literature review). The report should however contain sufficient description of the system.

Please report the system performance using the provided cross-validation setup or development set, according to the task. For participants taking part in multiple tasks, one technical report covering all tasks is sufficient, if the systems have only small differences. Describe the task specific parameters in the report.

Participants can also submit the same report as a scientific paper to DCASE 2018 Workshop. In this case, the paper must respect the structure of a scientific publication, and be prepared according to the provided Workshop paper instructions and template. Please note that the template is slightly different, and you will have to create a separate submission to the DCASE2018 Workshop track in the submission system. Please refer to the workshop webpage for more details. DCASE2018 Workshop papers will be peer-reviewed.

Template

Reports are in format 4+1 pages. Papers are maximum 5 pages, including all text, figures, and references, with the 5th page containing only references. The templates for technical report are available here:

Latex template (279 KB)
version 1.0 (.zip)


Word template (38 KB)
version 1.0 (.docx)



Meta information

In order to allow meta analysis of submitted systems, participants should provide rough meta information presented in a structured and correctly formatted YAML-file.

See example meta files below for each baseline system. These examples are also available in the example submission package. Meta file structure is mostly the same for all tasks, only the metrics collected in results->development_dataset-section differ per challenge task.
