Text2Score: Generating Sheet Music From Textual Prompts

Keshav Bhandari, Sungkyun Chang, Abhinaba Roy +4

Developing text-driven symbolic music generation models remains challenging due to the scarcity of aligned text-music datasets and the unreliability of automated captioning pipelin…

The Ghost in the Keys: A Disklavier Demo for Human-AI Musical Co-Creativity

Louis Bradshaw, Alexander Spangher, Stella Biderman +1

While generative models for music composition are increasingly capable, their adoption by musicians is hindered by text-prompting, an asynchronous workflow disconnected from the em…

Scaling Self-Supervised Representation Learning for Symbolic Piano Performance

Louis Bradshaw, Honglu Fan, Alexander Spangher +2

We study the capabilities of generative autoregressive transformer models trained on large amounts of symbolic solo-piano transcriptions. After first pretraining on approximately 6…

Aria-MIDI: A Dataset of Piano MIDI Files for Symbolic Music Modeling

Louis Bradshaw, Simon Colton

We introduce an extensive new dataset of MIDI files, created by transcribing audio recordings of piano performances into their constituent notes. The data pipeline we use is multi-…
