MusTBENCH - Transition-Aware Description: leaderboard

Metric: Transition-Aware Description (TAD, 208 questions): the model describes the musical change around a given timestamp in free text; score is the mean of METEOR against the reference description and CLAP score (cosine similarity of the 20-second transition clip and the generated text), both times 100: METEOR spans 0 to 100 and CLAP -100 to 100, so the mean spans -50 to 100, on the MusTBench test set (full-length MTG-Jamendo and Slakh2100 tracks, music-expert-validated questions), zero-shot with the full track and a task instruction, temperature 0, unparseable timestamps and intervals counted wrong; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2033. 12 models tracked.
