*L3DAS22: Machine Learning for 3D Audio Signal Processing*

Signal Processing Grand Challenge at IEEE ICASSP 2022



Scope of the Challenge

The *L3DAS22 Challenge* aims at encouraging and fostering research on
machine learning for 3D audio signal processing. The challenge presents two
tasks, both relying on first-order Ambisonics (FOA) recordings in a real
reverberant office environment. Each task involves 1-mic and 2-mic FOA
recordings.

§  Task 1 – 3D Speech Enhancement

Models are expected to extract the monophonic voice signal from the 3D
mixture containing various background noises.  The evaluation metric is a
combination of STOI and WER measures.

§  Task 2 –3D Sound Event Localization and Detection

Models must predict a list of the active sound events and their respective
location at regular intervals of 100 milliseconds. Performance is evaluated
according to localization and detection error metrics.


Additional Info

§  Prizes will be awarded to the *challenge winners* thanks to the support
of Kuaishou Technology.

§  *Top 5 ranked teams* can submit a regular paper according to the ICASSP
guidelines.

§  All participants will have the possibility to upload an *interactive
demo* of their models on Replicate <https://replicate.ai/>.
