Task description

Retrieve the most similar items from a collection of symbolic documents, given a query, and rank them by similarity. The following tasks could be defined this year:

Task 1: Monophonic to monophonic. Both the query and the documents in the collection will be monophonic.

Task 2: Monophonic to polyphonic. The documents will be polyphonic (i. e. can have simultaneous notes), but the query will still be monophonic.

Task 3: Polyphonic to polyphonic. Both the query and documents will be polyphonic.

The description of these tasks is intentionally open, so that the details can be defined as result of the discussion. Also, the realization of these tasks is subject to the numbers of participants interested in the task.
