==MIREX 2024 Task Descriptions==
  
The MIREX team at the University of Illinois is very proud to announce its new <b><i>K-MIREX Collaboration</i></b> with the research team led by Chai-Jong Song of the Digital Media Research Center at the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) [http://www.keti.re.kr/e-keti/ http://www.keti.re.kr/e-keti/]. Song and his KETI colleagues will be taking the lead on running the 2013 <b>Query by Singing/Humming (QBSH)</b> and <b>Audio Melody Extraction (AME) Tasks </b>. We do not foresee any special deviations from traditional MIREX submission procedures for these two tasks. Should they arise, participants will be informed.
+
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:

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 2013, submissions with difficult to satisfy dependencies that the team has not been given sufficient notice of may result in the submission being rejected.

If you are participating in MIREX 2013, 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 2013 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 2013 - 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 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:

Traditional MIR tasks

Modern MIR tasks

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. This year's call for challenge winner is the singing voice deepfake detection proposal, which has been added to the task list.

How to Participate

  • Read the Participant Agreement and task description carefully.
  • Program your system. For some tasks, a docker image is required for submission. See the Submission Guidelines.
  • Write a 2-4 page extended abstract PDF describing your system.
  • Submit your system and the extended abstract to the new submission portal. Be sure to also check the announcements in the forum of each task.
  • Top-rated teams will be presenting their MIREX posters alongside the LBD session at ISMIR2024. (details will follow)

Important Dates

  • Challenge proposals due: August 7, 2024
  • Notification of acceptance for challenge proposals: August 14, 2024
  • Submission open: September 15, 2024
  • Submission close: around October 15, 2024 (different tasks may vary, see task descriptions for details)
