SoundSoftware code repository launched

The SoundSoftware.ac.uk project today launches a beta version of code.soundsoftware.ac.uk, a source code repository site for use by audio and music researchers throughout the UK.

The repository is provided for the use of researchers in the UK who would like to manage their own software projects—no matter how small—and for anyone who wishes to obtain and use software that has previously been published.

Any registered user can create their own projects. To register, you should be an active researcher in the audio or music fields in the UK. Although we encourage open sharing of code and research, we are happy to host both public and private projects. You can also start a project privately, share it with selected other researchers, and make it public later if you wish.

We're working on further documentation and tutorials to accompany the service.

See more at the site itself.

MLSP Prizes for Reproducibility: Winners announced!

Announcing the winners of the MLSP 2014 and SoundSoftware.ac.uk Prizes for Reproducibility in Signal Processing, organised by SoundSoftware.ac.uk in conjuction with the IEEE Signal Processing Society for the 2014 IEEE International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing.

SoundSoftware 2014: Videos now available!

The SoundSoftware 2014 workshop, our third annual workshop on software and data in audio and music research, was just as enjoyable as the previous two. Because so much research in this field ends up being expressed through software, a software workshop turns out to be all about the means by which research becomes useful and relevant to people other than the original researchers—fertile ground for interesting and thought-provoking talks.

The workshop videos are now available online at http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/soundsoftware2014, so if you weren't able to make it in person, catch up here!

Our third annual one-day workshop on Software and Data for Audio and Music Research takes place on the 8th of July 2014 at Queen Mary, University of London. The workshop includes talks on issues such as robust software development for audio and music research, reproducible research in general, management of research data, and open access.
