Note-Level Temporal Grounding of Musical Concepts in Large Audio-Language Models

Kun Fang, Ziyu Wang, Ichiro Fujinaga

Large audio-language models (LALMs) demonstrate growing music-understanding capabilities, but whether their responses are grounded in acoustic evidence remains unclear. Musical lan…

Learning Music Style for Piano Arrangement Through Cross-Modal Bootstrapping

Jingwei Zhao, Gus Xia, Ziyu Wang +1

What is music style? Though often described using text labels such as "swing," "classical," or "emotional," the real style remains implicit and hidden in concrete music examples. I…
