YouTube is a rich source of cover songs. Since the platform itself is organized in terms of videos rather than songs, the retrieval of covers is not trivial. The field of cover song identification addresses this problem and provides…
Cover songs are alternate versions of a song by a different artist. Long being a vital part of the music industry, cover songs significantly influence music culture and are commonly heard in public venues. The rise of online music platforms…
A cover song, by definition, is a new performance or recording of a previously recorded, commercially released song. It may be by the original artist themselves or a different artist altogether and can vary from the original in…
The use of community detection algorithms is explored within the framework of cover song identification, i.e. the automatic detection of different audio renditions of the same underlying musical piece. Until now, this task has been posed as…
Audio-based cover song detection has received much attention in the MIR community in the recent years. To date, the most popular formulation of the problem has been to compare the audio signals of two tracks and to make a binary decision…
Cover song detection is a very relevant task in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) studies and has been mainly addressed using audio-based systems. Despite its potential impact in industrial contexts, low performances and lack of scalability…
Cyberbullying is a disturbing online misbehaviour with troubling consequences. It appears in different forms, and in most of the social networks, it is in textual format. Automatic detection of such incidents requires intelligent systems.…
This paper investigates foundation models tailored for music informatics, a domain currently challenged by the scarcity of labeled data and generalization issues. To this end, we conduct an in-depth comparative study among various…
Cloned voices of popular singers sound increasingly realistic and have gained popularity over the past few years. They however pose a threat to the industry due to personality rights concerns. As such, methods to identify the original…
We discuss a novel task, Chorus Recognition, which could potentially benefit downstream tasks such as song search and music summarization. Different from the existing tasks such as music summarization or lyrics summarization relying on…
Popular musicians often learn music by ear. It is unclear what role technology plays for those with experience at this task. In search of opportunities for the development of novel human-recording interactions, we analyze 18 YouTube videos…
Automatic cover detection -- the task of finding in a audio dataset all covers of a query track -- has long been a challenging theoretical problem in MIR community. It also became a practical need for music composers societies requiring to…
With the immense number of videos being uploaded to the video sharing sites, issue of copyright infringement arises with uploading of illicit copies or transformed versions of original video. Thus safeguarding copyright of digital media has…
We present a new approach to evaluate chord recognition systems on songs which do not have full annotations. The principle is to use online chord databases to generate high accurate "pseudo annotations" for these songs and compute "pseudo…
With the rapid advancement of generative audio models, distinguishing between human-composed and generated music is becoming increasingly challenging. As a response, models for detecting fake music have been proposed. In this work, we…
Since the vocal component plays a crucial role in popular music, singing voice detection has been an active research topic in music information retrieval. Although several proposed algorithms have shown high performances, we argue that…
We introduce a novel low level feature for identifying cover songs which quantifies the relative changes in the smoothed frequency spectrum of a song. Our key insight is that a sliding window representation of a chunk of audio can be viewed…
When songs are composed or performed, there is often an intent by the singer/songwriter of expressing feelings or emotions through it. For humans, matching the emotiveness in a musical composition or performance with the subjective…
Abstract: Cover song identification (CSI) focuses on finding the same music with different versions in reference anchors given a query track. In this paper, we propose a novel system named CoverHunter that overcomes the shortcomings of…
Misinformation on YouTube is a significant concern, necessitating robust detection strategies. In this paper, we introduce a novel methodology for video classification, focusing on the veracity of the content. We convert the conventional…
