CoLLAP: Contrastive Long-form Language-Audio Pretraining with Musical Temporal Structure Augmentation

ICASSP 2025accepted

Modeling temporal characteristics plays a significant role in the representation learning of audio waveform. We propose Contrastive Long-form Language-Audio Pretraining (CoLLAP) to significantly extend the perception window for both the input audio (up to 5 minutes) and the language descriptions (ex…

FUTGA-MIR: Enhancing Fine-grained and Temporally-aware Music Understanding with Music Information Retrieval

ICASSP 2025accepted

Recent music large language models (music LLMs) have shown great potential in music understanding through large-scale multimodal pre-training. While some existing music LLMs have been augmented with temporally-aware music captions, music information retrieval (MIR) features conventionally do not exi…

PDMX: A Large-Scale Public Domain MusicXML Dataset for Symbolic Music Processing

ICASSP 2025accepted

The recent explosion of generative AI-Music systems has raised numerous concerns over data copyright, licensing music from musicians, and the conflict between open-source AI and large prestige companies. Such issues highlight the need for publicly available, copyright-free musical data, in which the…

Weakly-supervised VLM-guided Partial Contrastive Learning for Visual Language Navigation

IROS 2025

Visual Language Navigation (VLN) is a fundamental task within the field of Embodied AI, focusing on the ability of agents to navigate complex environments based on natural language instructions. Despite the progress made by existing methods, these methods often present some common challenges. First,

Deep Performer: Score-to-Audio Music Performance Synthesis

ICASSP 2022accepted

Music performance synthesis aims to synthesize a musical score into a natural performance. In this paper, we borrow recent advances in text-to-speech synthesis and present the Deep Performer—a novel system for score-to-audio music performance synthesis. Unlike speech, music often contains polyphony…
