Researchers have developed four probes to better understand how audio-language models evaluate generated music. These probes test what aspects of the music, text prompt, or instruction wording influence the model's ratings. When tested on the MusicEval and SongEval datasets, the probes revealed that models often rely more on the text prompt than the audio itself for alignment ratings. Furthermore, some judges' quality scores correlated more with expert alignment ratings than quality ratings, and pairwise judgments were sometimes swayed by the clip's position in the pair rather than its actual quality. The study recommends using these probes to improve the transparency and reliability of music evaluation judges. AI
