As in previous years, the workshop is organized in conjunction with the DCASE challenge. We aim to bring together researchers from many different universities, research organizations and companies with an interest in the topic, and provide the opportunity for scientific exchange of ideas and opinions.

The technical program of DCASE will include invited speakers on the topic of computational everyday sound analysis and recognition, and oral and poster presentations of accepted papers.

DCASE Workshop 2026 will be co-located with the BioDCASE Workshop (date and format TBD), which focuses on Bio-acoustics, and the SANE Workshop (October 30 at MIT), which is a one-day event gathering researchers and students in speech and audio from the Northeast of the American continent. The SANE Workshop alternates between Boston and New York City every year.

Recently I spent two weeks being a visiting researcher back at Music Technology Group, Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, under Prof Xavier Serra. During this time I occupied office 55.312, which I shared with Panagiota Astara (Noda, Freesound intern from Greece) and Xavier Lizarraga, research engineer at MTG and creator of Audio Merge. I also chatted with many (ex and current) MTG students and researchers including Alastair Porter, Frederic Font, Pedro Ramoneda, R. Oguz Araz, Satyajeet Prabhu, Martin Rocamora, Dmitry Bogdanov, Lonce Wyse, Andrea Poltronieri, Panagiota Anastasopoulou, Hyon Kim, Arjun Bahuguna, Federico De Lellis, Sergio Oramas, Marius Miron, and many others.

During my visit I served on the jury of the PhD thesis defense of Benno Weck on Oct. 27, together with Prof. Romain Serizel (University of Lorraine, France), and Martin Rocamora (MTG, UPF).

On Oct.28, I attended the Freesound 20th anniversary event.

On Oct.29-31, I attended the DCASE 2025 workshop, where I had extensive conversations with Nicolas Turpault, CEO of Sonaide. It was also a pleasure to meet my dear colleagues Mikolag Kegler and Owen Ackerman.

I discussed with DCASE steering committee members Romain Serizel, Frederic Font, Dan Stowell, and Annamaria Mesaros, about hosting DCASE 2026 Workshop in Boston.
