Multidimensional Music Aesthetic Evaluation via Semantically Consistent C-Mixup Augmentation

Abstract: Evaluating the aesthetic quality of generated songs is challenging due to the multi-dimensional nature of musical perception. We propose a robust music aesthetic evaluation framework that combines (1) multi-source multi-scale feature extraction to obtain complementary segment- and track-level representations, (2) a hierarchical audio augmentation strategy to enrich training data, and (3) a hybrid training objective that integrates regression and ranking losses for accurate scoring and reliable top-song identification. Experiments on the ICASSP 2026 SongEval benchmark demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms baseline methods across correlation and top-tier metrics.
