The baseline BeatThis reports different results compared to the paper because it uses a different number of test songs (999 vs. 993).

Comparison with Previous MIREXes

Since this year we have switched to using mir_eval for evaluation, some results may differ from those in previous MIREX editions due to differences in implementation. We confirm that the following metrics remain comparable with previous MIREX results:

• Comparable: F1, Goto, CMLc, CMLt, AMLc, AMLt.
• Not comparable: Cemgil, P-score.
