Assertion
MIREX and MIR showed a strong bias toward audio-based approaches; spectral-based approaches had driven advances but appeared to be reaching their limits of effectiveness, which Downie calls the glass ceiling problem.
Quote
Both MIREX and MIR have a strong bias toward audio-based approaches as most MIR researchers have strengths in signal processing. Spectral-based approaches to MIR tasks have led to advancements in the MIR field but they now appear to be reaching their limits of effectiveness. This limitation is called the “glass ceiling” problem and the MIREX results data support its existence.
