Lyrics transcription of polyphonic music is challenging because singing vocals are corrupted by the background music. To improve the robustness of lyrics transcription to the background music, we propose a strategy of combining the features…
Lyrics transcription of polyphonic music is challenging not only because the singing vocals are corrupted by the background music, but also because the background music and the singing style vary across music genres, such as pop, metal, and…
Automatic lyrics to polyphonic audio alignment is a challenging task not only because the vocals are corrupted by background music, but also there is a lack of annotated polyphonic corpus for effective acoustic modeling. In this work, we…
Lyrics transcription of polyphonic music is challenging as the background music affects lyrics intelligibility. Typically, lyrics transcription can be performed by a two-step pipeline, i.e. a singing vocal extraction front end, followed by…
Lyrics alignment in long music recordings can be memory exhaustive when performed in a single pass. In this study, we present a novel method that performs audio-to-lyrics alignment with a low memory consumption footprint regardless of the…
Multilingual automatic lyrics transcription (ALT) is a challenging task due to the limited availability of labelled data and the challenges introduced by singing, compared to multilingual automatic speech recognition. Although some…
Time-aligned lyrics can enrich the music listening experience by enabling karaoke, text-based song retrieval and intra-song navigation, and other applications. Compared to text-to-speech alignment, lyrics alignment remains highly…
Audio-to-lyrics alignment has become an increasingly active research task in MIR, supported by the emergence of several open-source datasets of audio recordings with word-level lyrics annotations. However, there are still a number of open…
We present a supervised neural network model for polyphonic piano music transcription. The architecture of the proposed model is analogous to speech recognition systems and comprises an acoustic model and a music language model. The…
Music captioning has gained significant attention in the wake of the rising prominence of streaming media platforms. Traditional approaches often prioritize either the audio or lyrics aspect of the music, inadvertently ignoring the…
Automatic note-level transcription is considered one of the most challenging tasks in music information retrieval. The specific case of flamenco singing transcription poses a particular challenge due to its complex melodic progressions,…
In this paper, we propose a method of utilizing aligned lyrics as additional information to improve the performance of singing voice separation. We have combined the highway network-based lyrics encoder into Open-unmix separation network…
Rethinking how to model polyphonic transcription formally, we frame it as a reinforcement learning task. Such a task formulation encompasses the notion of a musical agent and an environment containing an instrument as well as the sound…
The goal of real-time lyrics alignment is to take live singing audio as input and to pinpoint the exact position within given lyrics on the fly. The task can benefit real-world applications such as the automatic subtitling of live concerts…
In this work, we address the challenge of lyrics alignment, which involves aligning the lyrics and vocal components of songs. This problem requires the alignment of two distinct modalities, namely text and audio. To overcome this challenge,…
In recent years, the accuracy of automatic lyrics alignment methods has increased considerably. Yet, many current approaches employ frameworks designed for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and do not exploit properties specific to music.…
This paper presents a novel method for extracting acoustic features that characterise the background environment in audio recordings. These features are based on the output of an alignment that fits multiple parallel background--based…
Audio-to-score alignment is a long-standing challenge in music information retrieval and arguably the most widely applicable alignment task for music research. Alignment algorithms match two versions of a piece of music, and for this to…
Music has the power to evoke intense emotional experiences and regulate the mood of an individual. With the advent of online streaming services, research in music recommendation services has seen tremendous progress. Modern methods…
In this work, we study the association between song lyrics and mood through a data-driven analysis. Our data set consists of nearly one million songs, with song-mood associations derived from user playlists on the Spotify streaming…
