| | | |
− | Like previous years, we are prepared to improve the distribution of tasks for the upcoming MIREX 2020. 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: |
| | | |
− | To volunteer to lead a task, please complete the form [https://forms.gle/9idWhxPgdisxFW55A here]. Current information about task captains can be found on the [[2020:Task Captains]] page. Please direct any communication to the [https://lists.ischool.illinois.edu/lists/admin/evalfest EvalFest] mailing list.

− | ==Getting Involved in MIREX 2020==
| |
− | MIREX is a community-based endeavour. Be a part of the community and help make MIREX 2020 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 2020 tasks. Subscription information at:
| |
− | [https://mail.lis.illinois.edu/mailman/listinfo/evalfest EvalFest Central].
| |
− | | |
− | If you are participating in MIREX 2020, 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 2020 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 2020 - 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]].
| |
− | | |
− | Please note that because of "spam-bots", MIREX wiki registration requests may be moderated by IMIRSEL members. It might take up to 24 hours for approval (Thank you for your patience!).

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.
