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.

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.
