Popular music is often composed of an accompaniment and a lead component, the latter typically consisting of vocals. Filtering such mixtures to extract one or both components has many applications, such as automatic karaoke and remixing.…

Dual-encoder-based audio retrieval systems are commonly optimized with contrastive learning on a set of matching and mismatching audio-caption pairs. This leads to a shared embedding space in which corresponding items from the two…
