Abstract

This paper discusses the process of generating natural language music descriptions, known as captioning, using deep learning and Large Language Models. We aim to integrate a contemporary architecture called MERT, explicitly designed to create meaningful musical representation, to demonstrate that higher-quality embeddings can achieve competitive performance even with reduced data quantities. The captions used for training are from the state-of-the-art LP-MusicCaps dataset. A quantitative and subjective assessment of the quality of the created captions is performed, highlighting the differences between various models.
