View source for 2005:Symbolic Genre Class

==Review 1==

The problem is very interesting for MIR, but too vaguely described. The role of the committee is not to propose anything, but to review the proposed evaluation sessions. Thus the author should propose a detailed list of genres and corresponding data.

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For ciclopirox, the following should be considered:

AllergiesΓÇöTell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to ciclopirox. Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as preservatives or dyes.



Breast-feedingΓÇöIt is not known whether ciclopirox passes into breast milk. Although most medicines pass into breast milk in small amounts, many of them may be used safely while breast-feeding. Mothers who are using this medicine and who wish to breast-feed should discuss this with their doctor.

ChildrenΓÇöStudies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of ciclopirox in children under the age of 10 with use in other age groups.

Older adultsΓÇöMany medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults.

Although there is no specific information comparing use of ciclopirox in the elderly with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.




Other medicinesΓÇöAlthough certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your health care professional if you are using any other topical prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine that is to be applied to the same area of the skin.

PregnancyΓÇöCiclopirox has not been studied in pregnant women. However, this medication has not been shown to cause birth defects or other problems in animal studies. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant.

I'm not against organizing the genres hierarchically and associating several genres to each file, but this raises many issues that are not discussed at all here. If a track belongs to several genres, are these genres equally weighted or not ? Are they determined by asking several people to classify each track into one genre, or by asking each one to classify each track into several genres ? If there are coarse categories for classical and folk music, where lies the fine category of classical music adapted from folk songs ? I suggest that the contest concentrates on the single genre problem.

The choice of the genre classes is a crucial issue for the contest to be held several times. Indeed existing databases can be reused only when the defined categories are identical each year. Obviously the list of categories should reflect the list of MIDI music available on the internet. It would help if some data were already labeled according to this list.

The list of relevant data should be developed. How many files are needed for learning and testing ? Have the participants already collected some labeled data that they could give to the organizers ? How much ?

Regarding the release of the data, I think that it would be better not to release anything. The training and test data should always be accessible through the D2K interface, and thus no copyright problem would appear. Is it possible to ensure that the test data are used only for testing and not for learning ? Is it possible to implement learning easily in M2K ? (each algorithm may use different structures to store learnt data)

Finally, the evaluation procedure seems nice, but I don't have any clue whether the proposed participants are really interested.
