==MIREX 2024 Evaluation Tasks==
  
−
Like ISMIR 2014, we are prepared to improve the distribution of tasks for the upcoming MIREX 2015. To do so, we really need leaders to help us organize and run each task.
+
We will start with a small set of tasks and will expand the list based on the community's feedback. We also welcome volunteers for task leaders. The following tasks are currently planned for MIREX 2024:

Because MIREX is premised upon the sharing of ideas and results, '''ALL''' MIREX participants are expected to:
 
−
 
 
−
# submit a DRAFT 2-3 page extended abstract PDF in the ISMIR format about the submitted programme(s) to help us and the community better understand how the algorithm works when submitting their programme(s).
 
−
# submit a FINALIZED 2-3 page extended abstract PDF in the ISMIR format prior to ISMIR 2014 for posting on the respective results pages (sometimes the same abstract can be used for multiple submissions; in many cases the DRAFT and FINALIZED abstracts are the same)

If you have not submitted to MIREX before or are unsure whether IMIRSEL currently supports some of the software/architecture dependencies for your submission a [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZgC72BhhN0PFFiaj9NDejRdl1eW7wAFLIyMhAtoV0CA/viewform?usp=send_form dependency request form is available]. Please submit details of your dependencies on this form and the IMIRSEL team will attempt to satisfy them for you.

−
If you are participating in MIREX 2015, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you are subscribed to EvalFest. Deadlines, task updates and other important information will be announced via this mailing list. Please use the EvalFest for discussion of MIREX task proposals and other MIREX related issues. This wiki (MIREX 2015 wiki) will be used to embody and disseminate task proposals, however, task related discussions should be conducted on the MIREX organization mailing list (EvalFest) rather than on this wiki, but should be summarized here.

−
Where possible, definitions or example code for new evaluation metrics or tasks should be provided to the IMIRSEL team who will embody them in software as part of the NEMA analytics framework, which will be released to the community at or before ISMIR 2015 - providing a standardised set of interfaces and output to disciplined evaluation procedures for a great many MIR tasks.

Welcome to MIREX 2024

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 San Francisco, CA, USA and online from November 10–14, 2024.

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 2024 Evaluation Tasks

We will start with a small set of tasks and will expand the list based on the community's feedback. We also welcome volunteers for task leaders. The following tasks are currently planned for MIREX 2024:

Traditional MIR tasks

Modern MIR tasks

We also invite proposals for new challenges in MIR. For details, see 2024:Call for Challenges.

Call for Challenges

Starting from MIREX 2024, we invite proposals for challenges addressing new research problems from the ISMIR community. These challenges should aim to push the boundaries of current research and foster innovation within the field of music information retrieval.

For the format and requirements for the challenge proposal, please go to 2024:Call for Challenges.

How to Participate

  • Read the task descriptions and the submission guidelines (coming soon).
  • Wrap your system in a Docker container. Required dependencies should be specified in the Dockerfile. Make sure to keep the I/O format consistent with the task description.
  • Write a 2-3 page extended abstract PDF describing your system.
  • Submit your system and the extended abstract to the new submission portal (coming soon).

Important Dates

  • Challenge proposals due: Aug 7, 2024
  • Notification of acceptance for challenge proposals: Aug 14, 2024
  • Submissions due: TBA

Contact Us

Since we are adapting MIREX to a new format, we welcome any feedback, suggestions, and task leader volunteers. Please send your email to future-mirex@googlegroups.com.

We are looking forward to seeing you at MIREX 2024!
