Abstract

Validity is the truth of an inference made from evidence, such as data collected in an experiment, and is central to working scientifically. Given the maturity of the domain of music information research (MIR), validity in our opinion should be discussed and considered much more than it has been so far. Considering validity in one's work can improve its scientific and engineering value. Puzzling MIR phenomena like adversarial attacks and performance glass ceilings become less mysterious through the lens of validity. In this article, we review the subject of validity in general, considering the four major types of validity from a key reference: Shadish et al. 2002. We ground our discussion of these types with a prototypical MIR experiment: music classification using machine learning. Through this MIR experimentalists can be guided to make valid inferences from data collected from their experiments.
