MIREX

MIREX (Music Information Retrieval Evaluation Exchange) is an annual international competition that assesses how well computer algorithms can analyze and interpret music. Participants submit systems designed to perform tasks like identifying songs, extracting melodies, or classifying genres. These systems are tested against large, standard datasets, and their performance is objectively measured and compared. MIREX encourages development of better music analysis technology, helping researchers and developers improve tools for music recommendation, organization, and understanding. It provides a common platform for advancing music information retrieval methods through standardized evaluation.
