Steering dense music retrieval with open-vocabulary concept discovery
Julien Guinot, Alain Riou, Elio Quinton +1
Controllable music retrieval lets users find music that is, for example, more ambient, less distorted, or without guitar while preserving the other semantic content of an original…
Efficient Generation of Binary Magic Squares
Alain Riou
We propose a simple algorithm for generating Binary Magic Squares (BMS), i.e., square binary matrices where the sum of all rows and all columns are equal. We show by induction that…
Automatic Music Sample Identification with Multi-Track Contrastive Learning
Alain Riou, Joan SerrÃ, Yuki Mitsufuji
Sampling, the technique of reusing pieces of existing audio tracks to create new music content, is a very common practice in modern music production. In this paper, we tackle the c…
SLAP: Siamese Language-Audio Pretraining Without Negative Samples for Music Understanding
Julien Guinot, Alain Riou, Elio Quinton +1
Joint embedding spaces have significantly advanced music understanding and generation by linking text and audio through multimodal contrastive learning. However, these approaches f…
