• Authors: Sen Pei, Jingya Yu, Qi Chen, Wozhou He
• Abstract summary: Short video resources can not be independent of the valuable editing work contributed by numerous video creators. In this paper, we investigate audio beat matching (ABM), which aims to recommend the proper transition time stamps based on the background music. This technique helps to ease the labor-intensive work during video editing, saving energy for creators so that they can focus more on the creativity of video content.

• Abstract: The explosion of short videos has dramatically reshaped the manners people socialize, yielding a new trend for daily sharing and access to the latest information. These rich video resources, on the one hand, benefited from the popularization of portable devices with cameras, but on the other, they can not be independent of the valuable editing work contributed by numerous video creators. In this paper, we investigate a novel and practical problem, namely audio beat matching (ABM), which aims to recommend the proper transition time stamps based on the background music. This technique helps to ease the labor-intensive work during video editing, saving energy for creators so that they can focus more on the creativity of video content. We formally define the ABM problem and its evaluation protocol. Meanwhile, a large-scale audio dataset, i.e., the AutoMatch with over 87k finely annotated background music, is presented to facilitate this newly opened research direction. To further lay solid foundations for the following study, we also propose a novel model termed BeatX to tackle this challenging task. Alongside, we creatively present the concept of label scope, which eliminates the data imbalance issues and assigns adaptive weights for the ground truth during the training procedure in one stop. Though plentiful short video platforms have flourished for a long time, the relevant research concerning this scenario is not sufficient, and to the best of our knowledge, AutoMatch is the first large-scale dataset to tackle the audio beat matching problem. We hope the released dataset and our competitive baseline can encourage more attention to this line of research. The dataset and codes will be made publicly available.

  Generation of audio from text prompts is an important aspect of such processes in the music and film industry. Our hypothesis is focusing on how these aspects of audio generation could improve audio generation performance in the presence of limited data. We synthetically create a preference dataset where each prompt has a winner audio output and some loser audio outputs for the diffusion model to learn from.

In this work, we aim at filling the gap, with a carefully designed optimization-based framework for cross-visual-audio and joint-visual-audio generation.

  Cross-modal deep learning is used to learn joint embedding spaces that link the two distinct modalities - audio and sheet music images. While there has been steady improvement on this front over the past years, a number of open problems still prevent large-scale employment of this methodology. We identify a set of main challenges on the road towards robust and large-scale cross-modal music retrieval in real scenarios.
