This is the main page for the 17th running of the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX 2021). The International Music Information Retrieval Systems Evaluation Laboratory (IMIRSEL) at [https://ischool.illinois.edu School of Information Sciences], University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ([https://illinois.edu UIUC]) is the principal organizer of MIREX 2021.

==Task Leadership Model==

==MIREX 2025 Task Descriptions==
  
Like previous years, we are prepared to improve the distribution of tasks for the upcoming MIREX 2021.  To do so, we really need leaders to help us organize and run each task.
 
 
To volunteer to lead a task, please complete the form [https://forms.gle/fAACmt9qtXxEf97G8 here]. Current information about task captains can be found on the [[2021:Task Captains]] page. Please direct any communication to the [https://lists.ischool.illinois.edu/lists/admin/evalfest EvalFest] mailing list.
 
 
What does it mean to lead a task?
 
* Update wiki pages as needed
 
* Communicate with submitters and troubleshooting submissions
 
* Execution and evaluation of submissions
 
* Publishing final results
 
 
Due to the proprietary nature of much of the data, the submission system, evaluation framework, and most of the datasets will continue to be hosted by IMIRSEL. However, we are prepared to provide access to task organizers to manage and run submissions on the IMIRSEL systems.
 
 
We really need leaders to help us!

Welcome to MIREX 2025

After a break of 3 years, we want to bring back the MIREX (Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange) competition starting from 2024. We want to bring in new tasks, benchmarks, and datasets in response to the rapid development of computer music research.

The MIREX community will hold its annual meeting as part of The International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference. This year, the conference will be held in Daejeon, South Korea from September 21-25, 2025.

In a long run, we want to make MIREX a platform for researchers to share their latest research results, to compare their systems with others, and to promote the development of the field.

MIREX 2025 Task Descriptions

To be announced.

Call for Challenges

Starting with MIREX 2024, we invite the ISMIR community to propose new research challenges that address cutting-edge problems in Music Information Retrieval (MIR). These challenges should aim to push the boundaries of current research and foster innovation in the field.

We also welcome challenge sponsors from both industry and research institutions, particularly those willing to contribute datasets and computational resources to support the competition.

For the format and requirements for the challenge proposal, please go to 2025:Call for Challenges.

  • (Optional) Present a MIREX task captain poster at the Late-Breaking and Demo (LBD) session at ISMIR 2025.

How to Participate

  • Read the Participant Agreement and task description carefully.
  • Program your system. For some tasks, a docker image is required for submission. See the Submission Guidelines.
  • Write a 2-4 page extended abstract PDF describing your system.
  • Submit your system and extended abstract through the submission portal (to be announced). Check individual task forums for updates.
  • Top-performing teams will have the opportunity to present their MIREX posters at the LBD session at ISMIR 2025.
