Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning Boosts Music Retrieval Encoders

Researchers explored parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods like LoRA and QLoRA for adapting transformer encoders in multimodal music retrieval tasks. The study compared these methods against full fine-tuning across various audio, image, and symbolic score encoders using the TriScore and Musical Theme Datasets. While PEFT methods often matched or surpassed full fine-tuning in parameter efficiency and unimodal performance, these gains did not consistently translate to improved multimodal organization. AI

IMPACT PEFT methods offer a computationally efficient alternative for adapting large AI models, potentially accelerating research and development in specialized domains like music information retrieval.

    Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning of Transformer Encoders for Audio-Image-Symbolic Music Retrieval

    arXiv:2610.41512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Score-based multimodal music retrieval requires representations that are both discriminative within each modality and compatible across audio recordings, sheet music images, and symbolic scores. This paper investigates the effective…
