You are invited to attend the fifth workshop on Detection, Classification, 
Localization, and Density Estimation (DCLDE), which will be held next August 
22-25.

On Aug. 21, the day preceding the workshop, two seminars will be presented in 
parallel. One, on density estimation, will be led by Len Thomas, and the other, 
on detection, classification, and localization, by Dave Mellinger, Marie Roch, 
Eva-Marie Nosal, and Holger Klinck.

Two datasets for the workshop have been prepared, one for detection and 
classification and one for localization. These are for training DCL algorithms. 
As in past years, a challenge dataset will be presented later with which 
attendees can test and compare algorithms.

Information about the venue, the workshop, and the tutorials, as well as a link 
to the datasets, are available on the conference web site:

                 http://www.bioacoustics.us/dcl.html

Abstract submission guidelines will also be presented shortly, as will 
registration procedures.

The workshop is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (Michael Weise), the 
Navy's Environmental Readiness Division (Frank Stone), and the Acoustical 
Society of America.
