arXiv:2607. 00777v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recognizing jazz standards from audio is a challenging form of tune-level music retrieval: different performances of the same standard may vary in tempo, key, arrangement, instrumentation, improvisational content, and even whether the head melody is present.
arXiv:2608. 14819v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Music foundation models are commonly used as frozen audio feature extractors, yet selecting which layer to extract from remains largely heuristic.
arXiv:2603. 27218v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Music Structure Analysis (MSA) aims to uncover the high-level organization of musical pieces.
arXiv:2606. 06615v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieving music using natural language descriptions has improved with contrastive audio-text models such as CLAP, but current systems remain limited to coarse semantic queries.
arXiv:2607. 27909v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Objective evaluation of expressive MIDI piano performances typically relies on attribute statistics such as timing, velocity, and duration of individual notes.
arXiv:2506. 14293v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present Sleeping-DISCO 9M, a large-scale pre-training dataset for music and song.
arXiv:2607. 22413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sample retrieval tools can help composers find harmonically compatible material, but querying from a fixed reference sample becomes less informative as arrangements evolve and the harmonic context shifts with each musical decision.
arXiv:2606. 17301v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Search, a foundational operation in computer science, maps a query to a matching item in a collection.
Objective evaluation of expressive MIDI piano performances typically relies on attribute statistics such as timing, velocity, and duration of individual notes. However, these methods often disregard dependencies between notes, which poses a potential limitation in assessing the similarity between two sets of performances.
arXiv:2608. 06165v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing audio-to-score (A2S) systems primarily focus on classical music, and the application to popular music remains underexplored.
arXiv:2603. 23667v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Echoes, a new dataset for music deepfake detection designed for training and benchmarking detectors under realistic and provider-diverse conditions.
arXiv:2607. 06929v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Music aesthetic assessment is a challenging yet underexplored problem, requiring models to capture fine-grained, multi-dimensional human perceptual judgments.
arXiv:2607. 03806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio foundation models are widely adopted as general-purpose feature extractors, yet the internal structure of their learned representations remains insufficiently understood.
