Cover Song

Cover song identification (CSI) focuses on automatically recognizing different versions of the same song, a crucial task in music information retrieval given the abundance of cover songs online. Recent research emphasizes developing robust algorithms that overcome challenges posed by variations in instrumentation, arrangement, and performance style between original and cover versions, employing techniques like disentangled representation learning and refined attention mechanisms within convolutional and transformer-based neural networks. These advancements improve the accuracy and efficiency of CSI, particularly for short audio snippets, with implications for music recommendation systems, copyright management, and other music-related applications.
