Title
Havae: Learning Prosodic-Enhanced Representations Of Rap Lyrics
Abstract
Learning and analyzing rap lyrics is a significant basis for many applications, such as music recommendation, automatic music categorization, and music information retrieval. Although numerous studies have explored the topic, knowledge in this field is far from satisfactory, because critical issues, such as prosodic information and its effective representation, as well as appropriate integration of various features are usually ignored. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical attention variational autoencoder framework (HAVAE), which simultaneously consider semantic and prosodic features for rap lyrics representation learning. Specifically, the representation of the prosodic features is encoded by phonetic transcriptions with a novel and effective strategy (i.e., rhyme2vec). Moreover, a feature aggregation strategy is proposed to appropriately integrate various features and generate prosodic-enhanced representation. A comprehensive empirical evaluation demonstrates that the proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches under various metrics in both NextLine prediction task and rap genre classification task.
