Continuous diffusion for categorical data

Sander Dieleman, Laurent Sartran, Arman Roshannai +11

Diffusion models have quickly become the go-to paradigm for generative modelling of perceptual signals (such as images and sound) through iterative refinement. Their success hinges…

The Chamber Ensemble Generator: Limitless High-Quality MIR Data via Generative Modeling

Yusong Wu, Josh Gardner, Ethan Manilow +3

Data is the lifeblood of modern machine learning systems, including for those in Music Information Retrieval (MIR). However, MIR has long been mired by small datasets and unreliabl…

Multi-instrument Music Synthesis with Spectrogram Diffusion

Curtis Hawthorne, Ian Simon, Adam Roberts +4

An ideal music synthesizer should be both interactive and expressive, generating high-fidelity audio in realtime for arbitrary combinations of instruments and notes. Recent neural…

Scaling Up Models and Data with and

Adam Roberts, Hyung Won Chung, Anselm Levskaya +40

Recent neural network-based language models have benefited greatly from scaling up the size of training datasets and the number of parameters in the models themselves. Scaling can…

Improving Source Separation by Explicitly Modeling Dependencies Between Sources

Ethan Manilow, Curtis Hawthorne, Cheng-Zhi Anna Huang +2

We propose a new method for training a supervised source separation system that aims to learn the interdependent relationships between all combinations of sources in a mixture. Rat…

General-purpose, long-context autoregressive modeling with Perceiver AR

Curtis Hawthorne, Andrew Jaegle, Cătălina Cangea +12

Real-world data is high-dimensional: a book, image, or musical performance can easily contain hundreds of thousands of elements even after compression. However, the most commonly u…

MT3: Multi-Task Multitrack Music Transcription

Josh Gardner, Ian Simon, Ethan Manilow +2

Automatic Music Transcription (AMT), inferring musical notes from raw audio, is a challenging task at the core of music understanding. Unlike Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), wh…

Sequence-to-Sequence Piano Transcription with Transformers

Curtis Hawthorne, Ian Simon, Rigel Swavely +2

Automatic Music Transcription has seen significant progress in recent years by training custom deep neural networks on large datasets. However, these models have required extensive…

Symbolic Music Generation with Diffusion Models

Gautam Mittal, Jesse Engel, Curtis Hawthorne +1

Score-based generative models and diffusion probabilistic models have been successful at generating high-quality samples in continuous domains such as images and audio. However, du…

Improving Perceptual Quality of Drum Transcription with the Expanded Groove MIDI Dataset

Lee Callender, Curtis Hawthorne, Jesse Engel

We introduce the Expanded Groove MIDI dataset (E-GMD), an automatic drum transcription (ADT) dataset that contains 444 hours of audio from 43 drum kits, making it an order of magni…

Encoding Musical Style with Transformer Autoencoders

Kristy Choi, Curtis Hawthorne, Ian Simon +2

We consider the problem of learning high-level controls over the global structure of generated sequences, particularly in the context of symbolic music generation with complex lang…

The Bach Doodle: Approachable music composition with machine learning at scale

Cheng-Zhi Anna Huang, Curtis Hawthorne, Adam Roberts +4

To make music composition more approachable, we designed the first AI-powered Google Doodle, the Bach Doodle, where users can create their own melody and have it harmonized by a ma…

Enabling Factorized Piano Music Modeling and Generation with the MAESTRO Dataset

Curtis Hawthorne, Andriy Stasyuk, Adam Roberts +6

Generating musical audio directly with neural networks is notoriously difficult because it requires coherently modeling structure at many different timescales. Fortunately, most mu…

Music Transformer

Cheng-Zhi Anna Huang, Ashish Vaswani, Jakob Uszkoreit +7

Music relies heavily on repetition to build structure and meaning. Self-reference occurs on multiple timescales, from motifs to phrases to reusing of entire sections of music, such…

Learning a Latent Space of Multitrack Measures

Ian Simon, Adam Roberts, Colin Raffel +3

Discovering and exploring the underlying structure of multi-instrumental music using learning-based approaches remains an open problem. We extend the recent MusicVAE model to repre…

A Hierarchical Latent Vector Model for Learning Long-Term Structure in Music

Adam Roberts, Jesse Engel, Colin Raffel +2

The Variational Autoencoder (VAE) has proven to be an effective model for producing semantically meaningful latent representations for natural data. However, it has thus far seen l…
