• Abstract: In this paper we present a new dataset, with musical excepts from the three main ethnic groups in Singapore: Chinese, Malay and Indian (both Hindi and Tamil). We use this new dataset to train different classification models to distinguish the origin of the music in terms of these ethnic groups. The classification models were optimized by exploring the use of different musical features as the input. Both high level features, i.e., musically meaningful features, as well as low level features, i.e., spectrogram based features, were extracted from the audio files so as to optimize the performance of the different classification models.

  Retrieving music using natural language descriptions has improved with contrastive audio-text models such as CLAP, but current systems remain limited to coarse semantic queries.<n>We show that this limitation stems from the contrastive learning objective itself: despite being trained on long captions, CLAP-based models effectively utilize only the first few tokens.<n>We propose FIGMA, a multi-view contrastive architecture that addresses this limitation by jointly optimizing global audio-text alignment and frame-level, token-wise alignment.

  We leverage transfer learning methods to derive insights about similarities between different music cultures. We use two Western music datasets, two traditional/folk datasets coming from eastern Mediterranean cultures, and two datasets belonging to Indian art music. Three deep audio embedding models are trained and transferred across domains, including two CNN-based and a Transformer-based architecture, to perform auto-tagging for each target domain dataset.
