Hi gang:
Spring has sprung, the 2008 International Conference on
Music
Information Retrieval (ISMIR 2008) papers are under review,
and it is
May Day: Time to start defining the 2008 Music Information
Retrieval
Evaluation eXchange (MIREX 2008) task set.
The MIREX 2008 wiki is available at:
http://music-ir.org/mi
rexwiki.
Please note that you must create a NEW login for the 2008
Wiki even if
you have a login that you previously used for editing the
MIREX 2005 or
2006 or 2007 wikis.
Those new to MIREX might want to take a look at the MIREX
2007 results
summary (1 page, PDF) for inspiration:
http://music-ir.org/mirex/2007/abs/MIREX2007_ove
rall_results.pdf
Also note that ISMIR 2008 (where MIREX will hold its plenary
meeting) is
early this year (September 14th to September 18th, 2008;
http://ismir2008.ismir.net
). This means we need to get all the runs done
by end of August so participants can prepare their
posters/abstracts
prior to ISMIR. The traditional MIREX plenary meeting time
has not be
set yet but I will let you know as soon as I know.
As per usual, general, introductory MIREX announcements will
be made to
the music-ir ircam.fr and evalfestmail.lis.uiuc.edu lists. As
time
progresses, and conversations get more MIREX specific, MIREX
traffic
will be posted primarily to the evalfestmail.lis.uiuc.edu list. If you
are interested in MIREX, do subscribe to evalfestmail.lis.uiuc.edu via:
https://mail.isrl.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/evalfest.
Tasks are defined by the community so we need folks to step
up and take
charge of putting specific tasks together. If we can get the
data,
evaluation methods and THREE participants together, MIREX
will do
everything it can to run a given task. Personally, I would
love to have
some kind of chord detection task for this year: any
volunteers? As of
today, MIREX will most likely rerun:
*Audio Cover Song Identification (great progress being made
here!)
*Audio Mood Classification (an additional ground-truth set
would be great)
*MultiF0 (both parts, I believe)
We are also working on framing a new classification task
based upon a
collection of latin dance music (thanks to the team at U. of
Kent, UK).
I have heard soft rumblings about some other tasks, so I now
encourage
leaders (and interested parties) to move forward on:
*Score Following
*Optical Music Recognition
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me at:
jdownieuiuc.edu.
On behalf of my labmates at IMIRSEL, I officially declare
MIREX 2008 open!
Cheers, and be spiffy,
Stephen
