Improving Real-time Score Following in Opera by Combining Music with Lyrics Tracking
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Fully automatic opera tracking is challenging because of the acoustic complexity of the genre, combining musical and linguistic information (singing, speech) in complex ways. ...
In addition, a lyrics tracker, that has recently been shown to reliably track the lyrics of opera songs, will correct the music tracker when tracking parts that have a text dominance over the music. ...
More specifically, the acoustic model will predict, for each audio frame, a probability vector over a set of phonemes. ...

Retrieval of Textual Song Lyrics from Sung Inputs
2016
Interspeech 2016
The results are highly encouraging and could be used further to perform automatic lyrics alignment and keyword spotting for large databases of songs. ...
Since these lyrics do not have any temporal information, we then employ an approach based on Dynamic Time Warping to retrieve the most likely lyrics document for each recording. ...
Lyrics alignment Since the textual lyrics were not aligned to the singing audio data, we first performed a forced alignment step. A monophone HMM acoustic model trained on Timit using HTK was used. ...
