ISMIR 2004 Audio Description Contest

In this paper we report on the ISMIR 2004 Audio Description Contest. We first detail the contest organization, evaluation metrics, data and infrastructure. We then provide the details and results of each contest in turn. Published papers and algorithm source codes are given when originally available. We finally discuss some aspects of these contests and propose ways to organize future, improved, audio description contests.
