Language-Based Audio Retrieval with Converging Tied Layers and Contrastive Loss

29 Jun 2022  ·  Andrew Koh, Eng Siong Chng ·

In this paper, we tackle the new Language-Based Audio Retrieval task proposed in DCASE 2022. Firstly, we introduce a simple, scalable architecture which ties both the audio and text encoder together. Secondly, we show that using this architecture along with contrastive loss allows the model to significantly beat the performance of the baseline model. Finally, in addition to having an extremely low training memory requirement, we are able to use pretrained models as it is without needing to finetune them. We test our methods and show that using a combination of our methods beats the baseline scores significantly.
