回顾25年音乐信息检索发展，总结成就与未来挑战。
Twenty-Five Years of MIR Research: Achievements, Practices, Evaluations, and Future Challenges
- 梳理音乐分析、处理、生成三大方向的核心成果。
- 年度评测竞赛与开放研究推动领域快速进步。
- 强调多元包容与产业协作，适合关注AI音乐的读者。
本文回顾了过去25年音乐信息检索（MIR）的发展历程。尽管MIR涵盖音乐信息学的各类研究，但其核心多聚焦于音乐数据的信号处理技术，与IEEE音频与声学信号处理技术委员会关系密切。本文围绕音乐分析、处理和生成三大EDICS类别，总结了主要研究成果。同时，梳理了推动MIR快速发展的三项成功实践：一是每年举办的音乐信息检索评估交换（MIREX）竞赛，参与者在一系列研究任务中比拼性能；二是倡导可复现与开放研究；三是积极对接产业界研究与产品，促进社会影响并激励年轻学者加入。最后，强调多元、公平与包容对保持社区活力的关键作用，并提出未来需面对的挑战。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this paper, we trace the evolution of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) over the past 25 years. While MIR gathers all kinds of research related to music informatics, a large part of it focuses on signal processing techniques for music data, fostering a close relationship with the IEEE Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing Technical Commitee. In this paper, we reflect the main research achievements of MIR along the three EDICS related to music analysis, processing and generation. We then review a set of successful practices that fuel the rapid development of MIR research. One practice is the annual research benchmark, the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange, where participants compete on a set of research tasks. Another practice is the pursuit of reproducible and open research. The active engagement with industry research and products is another key factor for achieving large societal impacts and motivating younger generations of students to join the field. Last but not the least, the commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion ensures MIR to be a vibrant and open community where various ideas, methodologies, and career pathways collide. We finish by providing future challenges MIR will have to face.
