Music performances are representative scenarios for audio-visual modeling. Unlike common scenarios with sparse audio, music performances continuously involve dense audio signals throughout. While existing multimodal learning methods on the audio-video QA demonstrate impressive capabilities on general scenarios, they are incapable of dealing with fundamental problems within the music performances: they underexplore the interaction between the multimodal signals in performance, and fail to consider the distinctive characteristics of instruments and music. Therefore, existing methods tend to inaccurately answer questions regarding musical performances. To bridge the above research gaps, first, given the intricate multimodal interconnectivity inherent to music data, our primary backbone is designed to incorporate multimodal interactions within the context of music; second, to enable the model to learn music characteristics, we annotate and release rhythmic and music sources in the current music datasets; third, for time-aware audio-visual modelling, we align the model’s music predictions with the temporal dimension. Our experiments show state-of-the-art effects on the Music AVQA datasets. Our code is available at: https://github.com/xid32/Amuse.
