2011/05.My IEEE TMM ICME Special Issue Publication

Hung-Yi Lo, Ju-Chiang Wang, Hsin-Min Wang, and Shou-De Lin, Cost-sensitive Multi-label Learning for Audio Tag Annotation and Retrieval, IEEE Transaction on Multimedia, 18(3), pp. 518-529, June 2011. (Link)

As mentioned in Introduction to the ICME2010 Special Issue (pp. 518-529), the reviewing procedure is very rigorous:

• 630 regular papers and 48 special session papers submitted to the ICME 2010 conference
  
• 180 regular papers and 36 special session papers were included
  
• Among the regular paper submissions, the top 15% were accepted as oral presentations
• Among them, 59 papers submitted an extended version to IEEE TMM ICME special issue
  
• only 15 papers that received an AQ decision (Accept with Mandatory Minor Revisions) were considered to be included in the special issue

The overall acceptance rate is 2.38%!!! (from conference submission to ICME special issue journal paper). My paper is so lucky to be one of them.

Thanks my two advisors, reviewers, professor Chia-Ping Chen, professor Hsuan-Tien Lin for revision and comments. Also thanks many MIR researchers that I have met at ISMIR 2009 for their useful comments.
