Abstract:Constructing an embedding space for musical instrument sounds that can meaningfully represent new and unseen instruments is important for downstream music generation tasks such as multi-instrument synthesis and timbre transfer. The framework of Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) provides us with architectures and evaluation methodologies for verifying the identities of unseen speakers, and these can be repurposed for the task of learning and evaluating a musical instrument sound embedding space that can supp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
