Welcome to MIREX 2013
This is the main page for the eighth running of the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX 2013). The International Music Information Retrieval Systems Evaluation Laboratory (IMIRSEL) at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is the principal organizer of MIREX 2013.
The MIREX 2013 community will hold its annual meeting as part of The 14th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval, ISMIR 2013, which will be held in Curitiba, PR, Brazil, the 4-8 November, 2013. The MIREX plenary and poster sessions will be held during the conference.

Announcing the KETI/Illinois K-MIREX Collaboration
The MIREX team at the University of Illinois is very proud to announce its new K-MIREX Collaboration 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/. Song and his KETI colleagues will be taking the lead on running the 2013 Query by Singing/Humming (QBSH) and Audio Melody Extraction (AME) Tasks . We do not foresee any special deviations from traditional MIREX submission procedures for these two tasks. Should they arise, participants will be informed.
MIREX 2013 Deadline Dates
TBA
Nota Bene: In the past we have been rather flexible about deadlines. This year, however, we simply do not have the time flexibility, sorry.
Please, please, please, let's start getting those submissions made. The sooner we have the code, the sooner we can start running the evaluations.
PS: If you have a slower running algorithm, help us help you by getting your code in ASAP. Please do pay attention to runtime limits.

Note to New Participants
Please take the time to read the following review articles that explain the history and structure of MIREX.

Note to All Participants
Because MIREX is premised upon the sharing of ideas and results, ALL MIREX participants are expected to:
- submit a DRAFT 2-3 page extended abstract PDF in the ISMIR format about the submitted programme(s) to help us and the community better understand how the algorithm works when submitting their programme(s).
- submit a FINALIZED 2-3 page extended abstract PDF in the ISMIR format prior to ISMIR 2013 for posting on the respective results pages (sometimes the same abstract can be used for multiple submissions; in many cases the DRAFT and FINALIZED abstracts are the same)
- present a poster at the MIREX 2013 poster session at ISMIR 2013
Software Dependency Requests
If you have not submitted to MIREX before or are unsure whether IMIRSEL/NEMA currently supports some of the software/architecture dependencies for your submission a 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 2013, submissions with difficult to satisfy dependencies that the team has not been given sufficient notice of may result in the submission being rejected.
Finally, you will also be expected to detail your software/architecture dependencies in a README file to be provided to the submission system.
Getting Involved in MIREX 2013
MIREX is a community-based endeavour. Be a part of the community and help make MIREX 2012 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 2013 tasks. Subscription information at: EvalFest Central.
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.
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!).
