Machine learning techniques are an active area of research for speech enhancement for hearing aids, with one particular focus on improving the intelligibility of a noisy speech signal. Recent work has shown that feature encodings from…
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…
State-of-the-art singing voice separation is based on deep learning making use of CNN structures with skip connections (like U-net model, Wave-U-Net model, or MSDENSELSTM). A key to the success of these models is the availability of a large…
In this paper, we propose a model to perform style transfer of speech to singing voice. Contrary to the previous signal processing-based methods, which require high-quality singing templates or phoneme synchronization, we explore a…
Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise in lyric-to-melody generation, but models trained with Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) often produce musically implausible melodies with issues like poor rhythm and unsuitable vocal ranges, a…
Despite the recent increase in research on artificial intelligence for music, prominent correlations between key components of lyrics and rhythm such as keywords, stressed syllables, and strong beats are not frequently studied. This is…
In this paper our goal is to convert a set of spoken lines into sung ones. Unlike previous signal processing based methods, we take a learning based approach to the problem. This allows us to automatically model various aspects of this…
Accurately predicting music popularity is a critical challenge in the music industry, offering benefits to artists, producers, and streaming platforms. Prior research has largely focused on audio features, social metadata, or model…
Recent approaches in source separation leverage semantic information about their input mixtures and constituent sources that when used in conditional separation models can achieve impressive performance. Most approaches along these lines…
Sentiment or mood can express themselves on various levels in music. In automatic analysis, the actual audio data is usually analyzed, but the lyrics can also play a crucial role in the perception of moods. We first evaluate various models…
Most previous work in music emotion recognition assumes a single or a few song-level labels for the whole song. While it is known that different emotions can vary in intensity within a song, annotated data for this setup is scarce and…
The connection between music and lyrics is far beyond semantic bonds. Conceptual pairs in the two modalities such as rhythm and rhyme, note duration and syllabic stress, and structure correspondence, raise a compelling yet seldom-explored…
A main challenge in applying deep learning to music processing is the availability of training data. One potential solution is Multi-task Learning, in which the model also learns to solve related auxiliary tasks on additional datasets to…
Automatic melody-to-lyric generation is a task in which song lyrics are generated to go with a given melody. It is of significant practical interest and more challenging than unconstrained lyric generation as the music imposes additional…
We approach the singing phrase audio to score matching problem by using phonetic and duration information - with a focus on studying the jingju a cappella singing case. We argue that, due to the existence of a basic melodic contour for each…
The speech-to-singing (STS) voice conversion task aims to generate singing samples corresponding to speech recordings while facing a major challenge: the alignment between the target (singing) pitch contour and the source (speech) content…
Recent automatic lyrics transcription (ALT) approaches focus on building stronger acoustic models or in-domain language models, while the pronunciation aspect is seldom touched upon. This paper applies a novel computational analysis on the…
Deep learning architectures have made significant progress in terms of performance in many research areas. The automatic speech recognition (ASR) field has thus benefited from these scientific and technological advances, particularly for…
Background music in social interaction settings can hinder conversation. Yet, little is known of how specific properties of music impact speech processing. This paper addresses this knowledge gap by investigating 1) whether the masking…
Separation of multiple singing voices into each voice is a rarely studied area in music source separation research. The absence of a benchmark dataset has hindered its progress. In this paper, we present an evaluation dataset and provide…
