Welcome to music-ir.org:

Virtual home of music information retrieval research

The Shared Bibliography Project

• Research bibliography: Vital research papers in the field of Music Information Retrieval.

The Evaluation Project

• Project Overview: Overview of the MIR/MDL Evaluation Project
• The Tools We Use: Paul Lamere's ongoing survey of the tools MIR researchers are using.
• M2K: M2K represents the music-specific set of D2K modules designed to create a Virtual Research Lab (VRL) for MIR/MDL development, prototyping and evaluation. M2K provides the framework for the MIREX (Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange) contest, an annual MIR evaluation.
• White Papers: pdf files of The MIR/MDL Evaluation Project White Paper Collection, Edition #3. The 3rd section is from the Workshop on the Evaluation of Music Information Retrieval Systems, August 1, 2003 in Toronto.
