We, at Tata Consultancy Services and International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, are pleased to announce the International Workshop on Speech, Music and Mind 2018 (SMM18): Detecting and Influencing Mental States with Audio. This workshop will bring together, from both academia and industry, communities interested in understanding the interplay between the mind and sound/music/speech. The aim of this workshop is to further the state of the art in detecting and influencing mental states with audio. Applications to diverse contexts, especially the Indian context/languages and music genres are of special interest. Topics relating to fundamental questions such as the clarity in the definition of the state of mind of an individual, how it varies with time, its short-term and long-term effects etc. are also of interest.
The workshop will be held on 1st September 2018, one day before INTERSPEECH 2018 commences. We invite you to submit relevant contributions to the workshop before the deadlines and encourage you to attend the workshop at the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, India. We encourage carrying impactful demos to the venue by those presenting accepted papers.
