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…

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…

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…

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…

Piano Genie

Chris Donahue, Ian Simon, Sander Dieleman

We present Piano Genie, an intelligent controller which allows non-musicians to improvise on the piano. With Piano Genie, a user performs on a simple interface with eight buttons,…

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…

This Time with Feeling: Learning Expressive Musical Performance

Sageev Oore, Ian Simon, Sander Dieleman +2

Music generation has generally been focused on either creating scores or interpreting them. We discuss differences between these two problems and propose that, in fact, it may be v…

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…

Onsets and Frames: Dual-Objective Piano Transcription

Curtis Hawthorne, Erich Elsen, Jialin Song +6

We advance the state of the art in polyphonic piano music transcription by using a deep convolutional and recurrent neural network which is trained to jointly predict onsets and fr…
