Lyrics Comparison

Compare lyrics between languages by just providing the title

This repository contains integration to Genius API client or OpenAI for fetching lyrics and uses LaBSE [1] and AI4Bharat transliteration [2] for translating and calculating similarity.

How to execute?

Just run

python main.py --mode [global, local] <--source [genius, openai]> 

Those in [ indicate possible options and those in < indicate optional arguments

Local lyrics translation

To utilize lyrics that are available locally, please create a lyrics_text folder with subfolders as tamil and telugu

You can then add files with song names in lowercase and spaces replaced by _. For example, in lyrics_text/tamil, you can have a file named pachai_nirame.txt.

Example

This repository includes an example where the files have already been downloaded. We will leave it upto the user to source lyrics from an appropriate source.
