• Abstract summary: Blind music source separation has been a popular subject of research in both the music information retrieval and signal processing communities. To counter the lack of available multi-track data for supervised model training, a data augmentation method that creates artificial mixtures has been shown useful in recent works. We consider more sophisticated mixing settings employed in the modern music production routine, the relationship between the tracks to be combined, and factors of silence.

• Abstract: Blind music source separation has been a popular and active subject of research in both the music information retrieval and signal processing communities. To counter the lack of available multi-track data for supervised model training, a data augmentation method that creates artificial mixtures by combining tracks from different songs has been shown useful in recent works. Following this light, we examine further in this paper extended data augmentation methods that consider more sophisticated mixing settings employed in the modern music production routine, the relationship between the tracks to be combined, and factors of silence. As a case study, we consider the separation of violin and piano tracks in a violin piano ensemble, evaluating the performance in terms of common metrics, namely SDR, SIR, and SAR. In addition to examining the effectiveness of these new data augmentation methods, we also study the influence of the amount of training data. Our evaluation shows that the proposed mixing-specific data augmentation methods can help improve the performance of a deep learning-based model for source separation, especially in the case of small training data.

  Metric learning aims at capturing the underlying data structure and enhancing the performance of tasks like audio-visual cross-modal retrieval (AV-CMR) Recent works employ sampling methods to select impactful data points from the embedding space during training. However, the model training fails to fully explore the space due to the scarcity of training data points. We propose an innovative Anchor-aware Deep Metric Learning (AADML) method to address this challenge.

For evaluation, we construct a novel dataset with prompts and music clips. Our analysis shows that similarity metrics are in accordance with user preferences and that current personalization approaches tend to learn rhythmic music constructs more easily than melody.

  "Reprogramming" is a technique that utilizes pre-trained deep and complex neural networks originally targeting a different task by modifying and mapping both the input and output of the pre-trained model. We demonstrate that reprogramming can effectively leverage the power of the representation learned for a different task and that the resulting reprogrammed system can perform on par or even outperform state-of-the-art systems at a fraction of training parameters.
