Call for Late Breaking Demos

We are excited to invite submissions for the Late-Breaking/Demo (LBD) session at ISMIR 2024.

The LBD session offers a forum for presenting prototype systems, initial concepts, and early results that are not yet fully matured but hold significance for the Music Information Retrieval (MIR) community. It serves as an excellent opportunity for newcomers to ISMIR to showcase their preliminary work and engage with seasoned researchers through valuable feedback. 

Participants should submit extended abstracts in accordance with the submission guidelines (see below). At least one author must be available to present the accepted abstract as a poster during the LBD session, which may be done either in-person or virtually. Registration for the presenter is mandatory. Note that the LBD abstract is not a conference paper and will not be included in the official ISMIR 2024 proceedings. 

All submissions must comply with the following requirements:

• Length (2+1): two pages (maximum) of content plus one optional page for bibliography only.
• Templates: make sure to use the latest templates (available for Latex and Word, please pull the latest version).
• Submission system: please submit the paper through CMT (Author console -> Create new submission -> Late-Breaking/Demo) 
• Supplementary material (optional): authors are encouraged to submit a demo video that facilitates the screening process (5 minutes or less, mp4, h264 codec, 100MB or less, with closed captions).
• Final poster size: no larger than A0 or 36 x 48 inch (portrait orientation)

All submissions will be screened for the following criteria:

• Suitability for ISMIR
• Originality
• Formatting

As a hybrid conference, this year’s LBD session will support both in-person and virtual presentations. However, due to space constraints at the venue, not all submissions can be presented in-person. During submission, please specify your preferred presentation format. While we aim to honor all preferences, we may need to assign some presentations to a virtual format if in-person capacity is reached. Assignments will consider presenters' preferences and the order of submission.

Participants who wish to attend in-person and require a visa to travel to San Francisco must indicate this within the submission form. We encourage you to submit as early as possible to ensure sufficient time for visa processing. Please check the visa requirements well in advance and reach out to ismir2024-lbd@ismir.net if you need an invitation letter or additional documentation for your visa application. A valid registration is required for an Invitation Letter. 

For additional information, you can reach the session chairs via email at ismir2024-lbd@ismir.net.
