Rubric-Based Optimization for Text-to-Music Generation

Ping Wang, Guang Yang, Shao-Rong Su +3

Post-training text-to-music generation requires reward signals that capture multiple aspects of musical quality beyond what any single automatic metric can measure. We study struct…

A Dual Evaluation for Music Transcription

Ping Wang, Guang Yang, Nazif Can Tamer +2

Automatic music transcription systems produce sheet music that can be read and played back. We argue that these two targets call for complementary evaluations of notation similarit…

LEGATO 2: Toward Multimodal Sheet Music Recognition and Understanding

Guang Yang, Brian Siyuan Zheng, Victoria Ebert +1

We propose a novel pipeline, Legato 2, for extracting symbolic notation and semantic knowledge from images of sheet music. Legato 2 features the first large-scale neural model for…

Rubato: Transcribing Piano Music with Timestamps

Nazif Can Tamer, Victoria Ebert, Guang Yang +1

We consider the conversion of musical recordings into human-readable sheet music annotated with timestamps. Such output lets a listener clearly visualize rubato (temporally express…

BASS: Benchmarking Audio LMs for Musical Structure and Semantic Reasoning

Min Jang, Orevaoghene Ahia, Nazif Tamer +3

Music understanding is a complex task that often requires reasoning over both structural and semantic elements of audio. We introduce BASS, designed to evaluate music understanding…

LEGATO: Large-scale End-to-end Generalizable Approach to Typeset OMR

Guang Yang, Victoria Ebert, Nazif Tamer +5

We propose Legato, a new end-to-end model for optical music recognition (OMR), a task of converting music score images to machine-readable documents. Legato is the first large-scal…
