MUUNRiver-Bench: Diagnosing Relation-Dependent Music Retrieval with Multimodal Instructions

Zhancheng Guo, Congren Dai, Shangda Wu +4

Music retrieval is relation-dependent: given a reference track, a listener may seek its style with a new theme, a cover, or a comparable voice, and these intents demand contradicto…
