Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for determining whether audio recordings are the same face challenges due to the rich variations in musical compositions, such as changes in tune, timbre, tempo, structure, melody, and lyrics, leading to difficulties in accurately identifying feature vectors.

Innovation Solution

A method for generating a feature encoding model that involves acquiring sample audios with category labels, extracting audio features, encoding these features, and updating the model's parameters based on a target loss function to reduce intra-class differences and increase inter-class differences, thereby improving the identifiability of feature vectors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional feature extraction methods are used for audio determination, then the process is simple, but the identifiability of feature vectors is poor due to rich variations in musical compositions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentifiability of feature vectorsVSAvoidcomplexity of feature encoding model
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training an encoding model using a large amount of audio data before using it for actual audio determination. The model is trained offline to learn robust feature representations that can handle various musical variations, so that when the model is deployed for audio matching, it already possesses the capability to extract discriminative features despite the complexity of the training process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If a simple feature extraction method is used, then the model is easy to implement, but it cannot distinguish between different audio recordings with significant variations

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by conducting extensive pre-training of the encoding model using diverse audio data before deployment. This pre-training phase allows the model to learn robust feature representations that generalize well to different musical variations, ensuring high retrieval accuracy while keeping the actual audio determination process relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through the use of loss functions during the training process that guide the model to minimize prediction errors. The feedback mechanism adjusts model parameters based on the difference between predicted and actual outcomes, enabling the model to progressively improve its ability to distinguish between different audio recordings while maintaining computational efficiency.
