This is the main page for the eleventh running of the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX 2016). The International Music Information Retrieval Systems Evaluation Laboratory ([https://music-ir.org IMIRSEL]) at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science ([http://www.lis.illinois.edu GSLIS]), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ([http://www.illinois.edu UIUC]) is the principal organizer of MIREX 2016.  
+
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.

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 [http://goo.gl/forms/pAxzWnuHti 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.
 
−
 
 
−
Due to the high volume of submissions expected at MIREX 2015, submissions with difficult to satisfy dependencies that the team has not been given sufficient notice of may result in the submission being rejected.

MIREX is a community-based endeavour. Be a part of the community and help make MIREX 2016 the best yet.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Mailing List Participation===
 
−
If you are interested in formal MIR evaluation, you should also subscribe to the "MIREX" (aka "EvalFest") mail list and participate in the community discussions about defining and running MIREX 2016 tasks. Subscription information at:
 
−
[https://mail.lis.illinois.edu/mailman/listinfo/evalfest EvalFest Central].  
 
−
 
 
−
If you are participating in MIREX 2016, 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 2016 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 2016 - providing a standardised set of interfaces and output to disciplined evaluation procedures for a great many MIR tasks.
 
−

−
===Wiki Participation===
 
−
If you find that you cannot edit a MIREX wiki page, you will need to create a new account via: [[Special:Userlogin]].

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.

Task Descriptions

Traditional MIR tasks

Modern MIR Tasks

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.

What's new:

Starting with MIREX 2025, we invite the ISMIR community to participate in shaping the future of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) by either proposing new research challenges or volunteering as task captains for existing ones.

  • New challenge proposals should aim to address cutting-edge problems and push the boundaries of current MIR research.
  • Task captains for established tasks are encouraged to help revitalize previous tasks—potentially by updating evaluation methodologies, datasets, or other aspects to reflect recent advances in the field.

Task Captain Responsibilities:

  • Register on the MIREX Wiki and maintain a task description page.
  • Collect submissions via the MIREX submission server (or provide customized submission instructions).
  • Execute and evaluate the submissions.
  • Report results to MIREX and create a results page on the MIREX Wiki.
  • (Optional) Present a MIREX task captain poster at the Late-Breaking and Demo (LBD) session at ISMIR 2025.

How to Participate

See also the general Submission Guidelines.

  • Read the Participant Agreement and task description carefully.
  • Program your system.
  • Write a 2-4 page extended abstract PDF describing your system.
  • Submit your system and extended abstract to the MIREX submission site.
  • Top-performing teams will have the opportunity to present their MIREX posters at the LBD session at ISMIR 2025.

Important Dates

  • Challenge proposals due: May 9, 2025
  • Notification of acceptance: May 16, 2025
  • Submission open: May 31, 2025
  • Submission close: Sept 1, 2025 (Some tasks may have a different deadline; see task descriptions)
  • Result published: Sept 10, 2025 (Some tasks may have a different deadline; see task descriptions)
