[Asis-l] 10 June 2004: Special Symposium on MIR/MDL Evaluation

[J. Stephen Downie]

Colleagues and friends:

I will be holding "The Special Symposium on the International Music 
Information Retrieval Systems Evaluation Laboratory (IMIRSEL)" on 10 
June 2004 in Tucson, AZ from 1:00-5:00PM. This is a "side meeting" of 
the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL 2004) (7-12 June 
2004)[http://jcdl2004.org].

The purpose of this meeting is to bring together all parties interested 
in MIR/Music Digital Library (MDL) evaluation. The specific focus of the 
meeting will be to garner feedback and advice with regard to the 
International Music Information Retrieval Systems Evaluation Laboratory 
being constructed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We 
hope also to discuss  scenarios for the "evaluation contests" proposed 
by Pedro Cano of the host lab of the ISMIR 2004 meeting in Barcelona, 
October 2004 [http://ismir2004.ismir.net/ISMIR_Contest.html].

Background information on IMIRSEL and the related projects can be found at:

Please email me at jdownie at uiuc.edu if you are interested in attending. 
All are welcome and we encourage all manner of feedback, commentaries 
and suggestions.

Hope this finds each of you well.



Cheers,
Stephen
