2026:Presentation Deliverables

This page describes the deliverables for presenting a MIREX 2026 submission at ISMIR 2026 (Abu Dhabi, UAE, November 8–12, 2026). MIREX posters are presented in the hybrid Late-Breaking/Demo (LBD) session, so the requirements below are largely the same as the ISMIR 2026 LBD camera-ready requirements. The differences are the page limit of the extended abstract, the file names, and how to submit.

Important Dates

• Presentation form: Oct 21, 2026 (AoE)
• Deliverables: Oct 30, 2026 (AoE)
• Poster for the MIREX wiki only (if you do not present): Nov 7, 2026

Who Should Submit

Presenting at ISMIR 2026 is optional. The more you send us, the more places your work is shown:

If you submit...	ISMIR 2026 registration	MIREX wiki results page	MiniConf (ISMIR 2026 virtual platform)	Late-Breaking/Demo (LBD) session
Nothing	Not required	✓ Extended abstract (and poster if sent to future-mirex@googlegroups.com no later than Nov 7)	–	–
The deliverables (by Oct 30)	Required (online)	✓ Extended abstract and poster	✓ Your deliverables	–
The MIREX 2026 Presentation Form (by Oct 21) and the deliverables (by Oct 30)	Required (onsite or online)	✓ Extended abstract and poster	✓ Your deliverables	✓ Onsite: you present your poster ✓ Online: your pre-recorded video is played

In the presentation form, please give the name and email of every presenter. Every presenter must register for ISMIR 2026, not just one per submission. Please use the same email address for the registration and in the presentation form: the ISMIR 2026 organizers will send each presenter a secure upload link for the UAE speaker permit documents to that address.

Task captains who present a task captain poster send the same deliverables (poster, thumbnail and video).

Deliverables

Deliverable	Required	Format
Extended abstract (final version)	Only if it changed (see below)	PDF, ISMIR 2026 LBD template, 2–4 pages of content
Poster	Yes	PDF, landscape, A0 or 48 × 36 inch at most
Thumbnail image	Yes	PNG, 1920 × 1080 px and 1 MB at most
Video	Yes	MP4 (H.264), 5 minutes and 350 MB at most, with closed captions

Extended Abstract (Final Version)

If you do not send a new version, we will use the extended abstract you uploaded to the MIREX submission site. You may send a final version that differs from the uploaded one, for example with fixed formatting, clarifications, or a discussion of your MIREX results. It should still describe the system that was submitted and evaluated.

1. Use the ISMIR 2026 LBD template (LaTeX: ISMIR2026_lbd_template.tex, Word: ISMIR2026_lbd_template.docx). If the abstract you uploaded to the submission site does not follow this template, please revise it to match the template as closely as possible before sending it.
2. Length: 2–4 pages of content (including figures and tables), plus optional pages that contain only references. This is more lenient than the LBD limit (2+1 pages). Acknowledgements and an AI usage statement may go on the reference pages.
3. Remove line numbers, if any. For LaTeX users: remove the submission flag in line 16 of the preamble, i.e., change \usepackage[lbd,submission]{ismir} to \usepackage[lbd]{ismir}.
4. Make sure that the author names, affiliations and copyright information are correct and complete. The abstract is not anonymized.
5. Check spelling and grammar. Add an AI usage statement, if applicable (see the ISMIR 2026 AI Usage Policy).

We strongly encourage following accessibility best practices, especially alt text for figures. Please refer to the ISMIR 2026 accessibility guidelines.

Poster

1. Orientation: landscape (required).
2. Size: A0 (1,189 mm × 841 mm) or 48 × 36 inch (1,219 mm × 914 mm) at most.
3. High-resolution PDF.

The LBD session is hybrid. If you present onsite, please print your poster yourself and bring it to the conference. Every poster we receive is also attached to the MIREX wiki results page of its task.

Thumbnail Image

1. Format: PNG
2. Image size: 1920 × 1080 px at most
3. File size: 1 MB at most

The thumbnail is used as the preview image of your presentation.

Video

1. Either a walkthrough of your poster or a demo of your system, 5 minutes or less.
2. MP4 format, H.264 codec.
3. File size: 350 MB or less.
4. Include closed captions (see this guide), either as a separate subtitle file (.srt or .vtt) or burned into the video.

File Naming

Name your files <Task>_<SystemName>_<item>, where <Task> is the task name without spaces and <SystemName> is the name of your system on the results page. For example:

• AudioChordEstimation_MySystem_abstract.pdf
• AudioChordEstimation_MySystem_poster.pdf
• AudioChordEstimation_MySystem_thumbnail.png
• AudioChordEstimation_MySystem_video.mp4 (and AudioChordEstimation_MySystem_video.srt, if the captions are a separate file)

Task captains use TC as the system name, e.g., AudioChordEstimation_TC_poster.pdf. If one poster covers several of your systems, send one set of files and list all system names in your email.

How to Submit

Send an email to future-mirex@googlegroups.com by Oct 30, 2026 (AoE):

• Subject: [MIREX 2026 Deliverables] <Task> - <SystemName>
• In the email: the task, the system name(s), the presenter name(s), and whether you present onsite or online.
• Attach the files. Large files (especially the video) do not fit in an email; please share them as a download link (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive) that anyone with the link can open.
