Abstract
Existing tasks in MIREX have traditionally focused on low-level MIR tasks working with flat (usually DSP-only) ground-truth. These evaluation techniques, however, can not evaluate the increasing number of algorithms that utilize relational data and are not currently utilizing the state of the art in evaluating ranked or ordered output. This paper summarizes the state of the art in evaluating relational ground-truth. These components are then synthesized into novel evaluation techniques that are then applied to 14 concrete music document retrieval tasks, demonstrating how these evaluation techniques can be applied in a practical context.
