Audio Music Similarity and Retrieval

From MIREX Wiki

Description

As the size of digital music collections grow, music similarity has an increasingly important role as an aid to music discovery. A music similarity system can help a music consumer find new music by finding the music that is most musically similar to specific query songs (or is nearest to songs that the consumer already likes).

This page presents the Audio Music Similarity Evaluation, including the submission rules and formats. Additionally background information can be found here that should help explain some of the reasoning behind the approach taken in the evaluation. The intention of the Music Audio Search track is to evaluate music similarity searches (A music search engine that takes a single song as a query aka Query-by-example), not playlist generation or music recommendation.
