2nd Annual Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange

The 2nd Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange will take place during the 6th ISMIR Conference [1] in London, UK, September 11-15, 2005. The goal of this contest is to compare state-of-the-art algorithms and systems relevant for Music Information Retrieval. We aim at MIREX to represent the vast and multidisciplinary field of MIR, including symbolic, audio, and other subdisciplines.

• Evaluation topics will be proposed by the participants.
• Evaluation procedures and test collections will be agreed among the participants.
• Partial test data will be made available to the participants for algorithm fine tuning.
• Evaluation of submitted algorithms will be performed by the MIREX organizing committee.
• Results will be presented during a poster and a panel session.

Interested individuals are encouraged to join the MIREX mailing list [2].
