Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Audio plays an important role in everyday life since it is incorporated in various applications from broadcasting and telecommunications to the entertainment, multimedia, and gaming industries. Although less popular than image processing technology, which has overwhelmed the industry in recent years, audio processing in academia is under vigorous research and technological development. The relevant research initiatives are involved with speech recognition, audio compression, noise canceling, speaker verification and identification, voice synthesis, and voice transcription systems, to name a few. Furthermore, with respect to music signals, research initiatives focus on music information retrieval for music streaming and recommendation, networked music making, teaching and performing, autonomous and semi-autonomous computer musicians, and many more. This Special Issue gives the opportunity to disseminate state-of-the-art progress on emerging applications, algorithms, and systems related to audio, speech, and music processing and analysis.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Audio and speech analysis and recognition;
- Deep learning for robust speech recognition systems;
- Active noise canceling systems;
- Blind speech separation;
- Robust speech recognition in multi-simultaneous speaker environments;
- Room acoustics modeling;
- Dereverberation;
- Environmental sound recognition;
- Music information retrieval;
- Networked music performance systems;
- Technologies and applications of internet of sounds;
- Computer accompaniment and machine musicianship;
- Digital music representations and collaborative music making;
- Online music education technologies;
- Computational approaches to musical acoustics;
- Music generation using deep learning.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
