• Title: Contrastive Unsupervised Learning for Audio Fingerprinting
• Abstract summary: We introduce the idea of contrastive learning to the task of audio fingerprinting (AFP) We consider an audio track and its differently distorted versions as similar while considering different audio tracks as dissimilar. Based on the momentum contrast (MoCo) framework, we devise a contrastive learning method for AFP, which can generate fingerprints that are both discriminative and robust.

• Abstract: The rise of video-sharing platforms has attracted more and more people to shoot videos and upload them to the Internet. These videos mostly contain a carefully-edited background audio track, where serious speech change, pitch shifting and various types of audio effects may involve, and existing audio identification systems may fail to recognize the audio. To solve this problem, in this paper, we introduce the idea of contrastive learning to the task of audio fingerprinting (AFP). Contrastive learning is an unsupervised approach to learn representations that can effectively group similar samples and discriminate dissimilar ones. In our work, we consider an audio track and its differently distorted versions as similar while considering different audio tracks as dissimilar. Based on the momentum contrast (MoCo) framework, we devise a contrastive learning method for AFP, which can generate fingerprints that are both discriminative and robust. A set of experiments showed that our AFP method is effective for audio identification, with robustness to serious audio distortions, including the challenging speed change and pitch shifting.

  ThinkSound is a novel framework that leverages Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning to enable stepwise, interactive audio generation and editing for videos.<n>Our approach decomposes the process into three complementary stages: semantically coherent, interactive object-centric refinement through precise user interactions, and targeted editing guided by natural language instructions.<n> Experiments demonstrate that ThinkSound achieves state-of-the-art performance in video-to-audio generation across both audio metrics and CoT metrics.

We adapt off-the-shelf vision-language foundation models to provide pseudo-target supervision via two novel loss functions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our self-supervised approach on three audio-visual separation datasets.
