Self-Similarity-Based and Novelty-based loss for music structure analysis
Geoffroy Peeters
Music Structure Analysis (MSA) is the task aiming at identifying musical segments that compose a music track and possibly label them based on their similarity. In this paper we propose a supervised approach for the task of music boundary detection. In our approach we simultaneously learn features and convolution kernels. For this we jointly optimize -- a loss based on the Self-Similarity-Matrix (SSM) obtained with the learned features, denoted by SSM-loss, and -- a loss based on the novelty score obtained applying the learned kernels to the estimated SSM, denoted by novelty-loss. We also demonstrate that relative feature learning, through self-attention, is beneficial for the task of MSA. Finally, we compare the performances of our approach to previously proposed approaches on the standard RWC-Pop, and various subsets of SALAMI.
