• Authors: Mathilde Abrassart and Guillaume Doras
• Abstract summary: We show that an approximated representation of the lyrics is an efficient proxy to discriminate between versions and non-versions. We then describe how these features complement each other and yield new state-of-the-art performances on two publicly available datasets.

• Abstract: Version identification (VI) has seen substantial progress over the past few years. On the one hand, the introduction of the metric learning paradigm has favored the emergence of scalable yet accurate VI systems. On the other hand, using features focusing on specific aspects of musical pieces, such as melody, harmony, or lyrics, yielded interpretable and promising performances. In this work, we build upon these recent advances and propose a metric learning-based system systematically leveraging four dimensions commonly admitted to convey musical similarity between versions: melodic line, harmonic structure, rhythmic patterns, and lyrics. We describe our deliberately simple model architecture, and we show in particular that an approximated representation of the lyrics is an efficient proxy to discriminate between versions and non-versions. We then describe how these features complement each other and yield new state-of-the-art performances on two publicly available datasets. We finally suggest that a VI system using a combination of melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and lyrics features could theoretically reach the optimal performances obtainable on these datasets.

  This paper introduces a novel graph representation for music and a deep Variational Autoencoder that generates the structure and the content of musical graphs separately. By separating the structure and content of musical graphs, it is possible to condition generation by specifying which instruments are played at certain times.

  We propose a method for generating high-quality lyrics without training on any aligned melody-lyric data. We leverage the segmentation and rhythm alignment between melody and lyrics to compile the given melody into decoding constraints. Our model can generate high-quality lyrics that are more on-topic, singable, intelligible, and coherent than strong baselines.

The Midi is represented in a way that is invariant to the musical scale, and the melody is represented, for the purpose of conditioning the harmony.

  "Music Gesture" is a keypoint-based structured representation to explicitly model the body and finger movements of musicians when they perform music. We first adopt a context-aware graph network to integrate visual semantic context with body dynamics, and then apply an audio-visual fusion model to associate body movements with the corresponding audio signals.

  We present a model for composing melodies given a user specified symbolic scenario combined with a previous music context. Our model is capable of generating long melodies by regarding 8-beat note sequences as basic units, and shares consistent rhythm pattern structure with another specific song. Results show that the music generated by our model tends to have salient repetition structures, rich motives, and stable rhythm patterns.
