Overview
The 23rd International Society for Music Information Retrieval
Conference (ISMIR 2022) will be held in Bangalore, India, from December
4th to 8th, 2022.https://ismir2022.ismir.net
The annual conference of the International Society for Music Information
Retrieval (ISMIR) is the world's leading research forum on processing,
analyzing, searching, organizing and accessing music-related data. The
23rd ISMIR conference welcomes contributions related to any aspect of
music information research, including foundations and theories for music
processing, analysis, algorithms, evaluation, and applications.
ISMIR is a truly interdisciplinary research community, involving
researchers, developers, educators, librarians, students, and
professionals from various disciplines such as computer science,
electrical engineering, musicology, cognitive science, and library and
information sciences. The ISMIR conference provides a venue for the
exchange of ideas, issues, results, and perspectives among different
profiles of people working with music and computing in a broad sense.
In addition to established research topics and tasks, ISMIR always
welcomes brave new ideas and challenges. Submissions of novel
music-related topics, tasks, and applications are highly encouraged to
broaden the scope of ISMIR. ISMIR also has a tradition of publishing
open datasets and open-source projects to enhance the scientific
reproducibility, though ISMIR accepts submissions using proprietary
datasets and implementations that are not sharable. ISMIR thus respects
the diversity of academic disciplines, backgrounds, and approaches.
The accepted papers will be presented at the conference in a format to
be decided.
Special Call for Papers: Cultural and Social Diversity in MIR
The research carried out in MIR nowadays does not reflect the rich
variety of the world's music traditions. MIR studies are mostly focused
on international mainstream popular music, Western art music and other
styles mainly based on tonal principles and global consumption practices.
From ISMIR we want to promote the study of still under-represented music
traditions in MIR. These traditions might not only present music
characteristics that would require novel approaches even for standard
MIR tasks, but can represent under-studied musical functions and
communities. In this regard, we also encourage the study of new groups
of music makers and users, as well as the development of tools that
benefit beyond mainstream music communities. Equally, we encourage
studies from a cross-cultural perspective that cater to this musical and
cultural diversity. To submit to this track, authors should indicate
this in the main submission form. These submissions will follow the same
submission process and requirements described below, but dedicated
meta-reviewers will be selected to oversee their review. An award will
be given to the best paper accepted within this special call.
Selection Process
Full paper review: Each paper will be reviewed by at least three
reviewers and a program committee member (meta-reviewer) who will
overview the process and write a meta-review with a recommendation. The
Scientific Program Chairs will make the final decision based on that
recommendation.
Double blind review: ISMIR follows a double-blind review process.
Authors should not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, and
reviewers should not know the name(s) of the author(s).
Evaluation criteria: Evaluation criteria include the novelty of the
paper, scholarly/scientific quality, reusable insights, pioneering
proposals, appropriateness of topic, potential impact, readability and
paper organization. Papers which propose brave new ideas are valued. It
is helpful to read the reviewer guidelines at
https://ismir.net/reviewer-guidelines/ before the paper submission.
Submission Process
Submission site: [TBA]
Abstract submission: The paper title, author names, contact details, and
abstract must be submitted by the abstract submission deadline. The
title and abstract, together with the selected subject area, are the
primary sources for assigning papers to reviewers. So make sure that
they form a concise and complete summary of your paper with sufficient
information to let someone who has not read the full paper know what it
is about.
Full paper submission: The full paper must be submitted by the full
paper submission deadline.
Supplementary material: For the anonymous review process, in addition to
the PDF file of the manuscript, authors may upload supplementary files
for their submission, such as audio samples, demonstration videos, code,
etc. These supplementary materials should comply with the requirements
for the double-blind review process.
Subject area: When submitting the abstracts, authors will be required to
choose from the subject areas given. The list of subject areas is the
one listed below and it will be available on the submission site.
Presenting authors: At least one author of each accepted paper must
register to the conference, before the deadline given for author
registration [TBD]. Failure to register before the deadline will result
in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the conference proceedings and
program.
Publication: Accepted papers will be published on the conference website
and on an open access repository [TBD] using a Creative Commons
Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).
Submission Requirements
Paper format: Papers must be formatted using the ISMIR 2022 templates
(LaTeX or Word). Authors are required to submit their papers in PDF
format. Submissions that manipulate the template (e.g., by decreasing
margins or font sizes) may be rejected without review. All fonts need to
be embedded within the PDF.
Paper length: Papers must contain at most 6 pages of scientific content
(including figures and tables), with additional optional pages that
contain only references and acknowledgments. Overlength papers will be
rejected without review.
Anonymity of authors: Do not put your names under the title. Avoid using
phrases such as "our previous work" when referring to earlier
publications by the authors. Remove information that may identify the
authors in the acknowledgments (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs). Check
supplementary material for information that may reveal the authors'
identity. Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors.
Anonymized materials may be uploaded as "Supplementary material".
Preprints: To maintain the legitimacy for our double-blind review
process, we strongly discourage authors from posting near duplicate
manuscripts on public archives (technical reports, arXiv, etc.). In the
same spirit, to protect our double-blind review process, authors need to
make sure they do not promote their work in any way during the review
process (social media, blog, mailing-list, etc.), since this may prevent
preserving anonymity.
External Materials: If the paper promises to make the code, dataset, or
other materials available after the acceptance, our research community
relies on the research ethics of the authors to fulfill their promise.
