arXiv:2607. 03296v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Crossmodal correspondences between sound and taste are well established in psychology and neuroscience, but largely absent from content-based multimedia retrieval.

arXiv:2606. 10010v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluating text-to-music (TTM) systems remains expensive because music impression (MI) and text alignment (TA) scores rely on human mean opinion scores (MOS).

arXiv:2608. 13990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Driven by the attention economy, short-video Recommender Systems (RSs) are primarily optimized to maximize user engagement by promoting videos that capture attention within seconds.

arXiv:2607. 28876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Music is often used as a medium for communicating emotion, with performers shaping perceived affect through interpretation.

Driven by the attention economy, short-video Recommender Systems (RSs) are primarily optimized to maximize user engagement by promoting videos that capture attention within seconds. These systems inherently favor shallow-content videos that are effective at attracting immediate attention.
arXiv:2606. 06225v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Collaborative filtering and graph-based recommendation models are highly effective because they leverage observed user interactions, but this dependence creates a fundamental cold-start challenge when newly added content has no interaction history.

arXiv:2606. 17006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce TuneJury, an open, instance-level pairwise reward model for text-to-music that predicts a music preference score from a text prompt and an audio clip.
