New audio-text retrieval method uses cross-modal attention and hybrid loss

Researchers have developed a new framework for audio-text retrieval that enhances semantic alignment between audio and text. This approach utilizes a cross-modal embedding refinement module with transformers and bidirectional attention. To improve robustness, especially with noisy or long audio, a hybrid loss function combining cosine similarity, L1, and contrastive objectives is employed, allowing for stable training even with small batches.
