==Welcome to MIREX 2024==
  
== Current MIREX Wiki (2010) ==
+
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.
You can view the current 2010 content here: [[2010:MIREX HOME]]
 
  
== Introduction ==
+
The MIREX community will hold its annual meeting as part of [https://ismir.net/ The International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference]. This year, the conference will be held in [https://ismir2024.ismir.net/ San Francisco, CA, USA and online] from November 10–14, 2024.
The Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX) is an annual evaluation campaign for Music Information Retrieval (MIR) algorithms, coupled to the [http://www.ismir.net International Society (and Conference) for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR)]. MIREX is hosted by the [https://www.music-ir.org/evaluation/ International Music Information Retrieval Systems Evaluation Laboratory (IMIRSEL)] at the [http://www.lis.illinois.edu/ Graduate School of Library Information Sciences (GSLIS)] which is part of the [http://www.illinois.edu/ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)].
 
  
 +
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.
  
Current and Future MIREXs are in part facilitated by the work of the [https://nema.lis.illinois.edu/ Networked Environment for Music Analysis (NEMA) project]. The NEMA projects aims to automate and expose the workings of MIREX and MIR experimentation/evaluation to the MIR community, helping to deal with issues of collection/data/code sharing within the community by handling issues relating to copyright and IP restrictions by allowing MIR researchers to work (remotely) with resources without having to obtain licenses to the content/code.
+
==MIREX 2024 Task Descriptions==
  
 +
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 captains (TC). The following tasks are currently planned for MIREX 2024:

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.
