Query by Tapping

Description

The main purpose of QBT (Query by Tapping) is to evaluate MIR system in retrieving ground-truth MIDI files by tapping the onset of music notes to the microphone. This task provides query files in wave format as well as the corresponding human-label onset time in symbolic format. For this year's QBT task, we have two corpora for evaluation:

• Roger Jang's MIR-QBT: This dataset contains both wav files (recorded via microphone) and onset files (human-labeled onset time).
• Show Hsiao's QBT_symbolic: This dataset contains only onset files (obtained from the user's tapping on keyboard).
