1. WELCOME TO THE 8TH DCLDE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
The 8th International Workshop on Detection, Classification, Localization, and Density Estimation
(DCLDE, http://sabiod.univ-tln.fr/DCLDE) of Marine Mammals using Passive Acoustics brings together
researchers and engineers from universities, research institutes, government organizations, and
industry, dealing with all aspects of acoustics, signal processing, pattern recognition, mathematics, and
computer sciences applied to the study of the biology, ethology and ecology of marine mammals and
also their environment and the potential effects of anthropogenic activities. The goal is to provide a
forum for exchange of new results obtained from the latest advances in instrumentation and from the
recent methods. Also this workshop will clearly encourage interdisciplinary approaches to create more
knowledge on these species.
The DCLDE International Workshop will comprise a prominent series of thematic sessions of oral and
poster presentations. Abstracts will be published in proceedings to be made available to all registered
participants on the first day of the Workshop.
As the previous sessions of the DCLDE International Workshops, a challenge is offered to compare
methods, algorithms, and results. This time will be awarded the team that will best detect and classify
the underwater acoustic environment including sounds emitted by mysticeti and odontoceti species
among other biological, natural and anthropogenic noises.
2. TOPICS
The workshop will deal with engineering sciences including acoustics, signal processing, pattern
recognition, mathematics, and computer sciences, dedicated to studies of marine mammals:
- Detection of pulsed and harmonic sounds
- Classification of diverse sounds including clicks, whistles and vocalizations
- Localization of marine mammals
- Estimation of population density
- Acoustic propagation models
- Innovative engineering including new materials and tools
- Big data analytics
- Study of sound generator of marine mammals
- Underwater soundscapes: description of environmental acoustics and anthropogenic
sounds

6. PARTICIPANTS
Between 170 and 180 participants are expected at the 2018 DCLDE International Workshop.
Researchers, engineers, PhD and Master students will be welcome to present their work on
bioacoustics dedicated to the observations of marine mammals and of their marine environment.
Several sessions will be scheduled for oral presentations and posters. Also, companies will exhibit their
services and materials.
7. SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
The 2018 DCLDE International Workshop will be organized in several appointments:
7.1. THEMATIC TUTORIAL SESSIONS
Three thematic tutorial sessions will be organized on Monday 4th. The objective is to present the new
theory, the current methods and the software used by the researchers. During 3-4 hours, overall
presentation and examples on real recorded sounds will illustrate the knowledge, the
advantages/inconvenient, and the use of these methods.
The 3 sessions are:
- Machine learning for Bioacoustics, Bayesian and Deep Learning, organized by Prof. H. Glotin,
LSIS
- Localization of cetaceans using passive acoustics, organized by Dr. C. Laplanche, INP-ENSAT
- A primer on density estimation from passive acoustic data, organized by Dr. L. Thomas, Dr. T.
Marques, and Dr. D. Harris, St Andrews
7.2. THEMATIC SESSIONS FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS
From the 5th to the 8th of June, four sessions will be dedicated to oral presentations, 2 during the
morning and 2 during the afternoon. The different topics will be: detection, localization, classification,
density estimation, challenge (results obtained on the 2018 DCLDE dataset).
Each session will be animated by a chairman. Speakers will have 15 min to present their work, and
then, the participants will have 5 min for questions.
7.3. CHALLENGE
As the previous sessions of the DCLDE International Workshops, a challenge is offered to compare
methods, algorithms, and results. For this 2018 DCLDE International Workshop, the challenge will be
dedicated to the detection and classification of different mysticeti and odontoceti species among other
biological, natural and anthropogenic noises. The dataset will be segmented in 3 parts: training,
validation and test. Only the test part will be used to determine the winner of this challenge.
The dataset will be open in July 2017, and rules for participants will be detailed on the internet website
of the 2018 DCLDE International Workshop.
The challenge is organized by Prof. O. Adam and Prof. H. Glotin.
7.4. POSTERS
Participants could also present their results by poster. A specific space, close to the amphitheater, will
be dedicated to this poster exhibition. Posters should not exceed 90 cm in width and 120 cm in height.
Short oral Sessions (2min) will be held so that the authors can present their poster orally. Every day,
specific sessions will be scheduled to allow attendees to visit the posters.
67.5. INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION
An industrial exhibition is organized to allow companies that work in underwater acoustics,
bioacoustics, signal processing, and pattern recognition. Companies will come to show their
professional services and their materials. Demonstrations could be proposed if they do not disrupt the
conference and are safe for all participants.
8. SOCIAL EVENTS
The 2018 DCLDE International Workshop will also be the opportunity for 2 social events:
8.1. ICE-BREAKING COCKTAIL
The ice-breaking cocktail will take place on the 24th floor of the Zamanski Tour at the University, from
7pm to 11pm. Participants are warmly invited to come and enjoy the view of Paris and chat over a
drink.
During this event, we would like to welcome the artist Matt Schultz who made the monumental
sculpture of a humpback whale. His venue must be confirmed.
8.2. CONFERENCE BANQUET
On Thursday 7th, we will invite the participants for a diner cocktail and dancing party on the Seine river,
from 9pm to 2am.
We will welcome Camille Hanson who is the author of The Sacrifice of Giants, an ecologically-sensitive
choreographic production of dance, video and photography honoring the natural behavior of the
inhabitants of our oceans. Her venue must be confirmed.
