Abstract

Exemplified in the substantial amount of published research in music genre recognition, mood recognition and autotagging, content-based music information retrieval (MIR) advances an "engineering approach'': build a system producing the most "correct'' answers in datasets appearing throughout the literature. However, it has been clearly shown that much of this research is deficient in: formally and explicitly defining problems and use cases; identifying and testing underlying assumptions;
and using evaluation with the validity to address relevant hypotheses. This means that a system so engineered might not even be considering the through it answers "correctly''. It could thus be worthless for addressing real-world problems that must consider (e.g., music description). To emphasise the critical points above, and encourage a new approaches to research that address real-world problems,
we present four challenges for MIR researchers.
