Local Periodicity-Based Beat Tracking for Expressive Classical Piano Music
Ching-Yu Chiu, Meinard Müller, Matthew E. P. Davies +2
To model the periodicity of beats, state-of-the-art beat tracking systems use "post-processing trackers" (PPTs) that rely on several empirically determined global assumptions for t…
JukeDrummer: Conditional Beat-aware Audio-domain Drum Accompaniment Generation via Transformer VQ-VAE
Yueh-Kao Wu, Ching-Yu Chiu, Yi-Hsuan Yang
This paper proposes a model that generates a drum track in the audio domain to play along to a user-provided drum-free recording. Specifically, using paired data of drumless tracks…
An Analysis Method for Metric-Level Switching in Beat Tracking

DDSP-based Singing Vocoders: A New Subtractive-based Synthesizer and A Comprehensive Evaluation
Da-Yi Wu, Wen-Yi Hsiao, Fu-Rong Yang +5
A vocoder is a conditional audio generation model that converts acoustic features such as mel-spectrograms into waveforms. Taking inspiration from Differentiable Digital Signal Pro…
towards automatic transcription of polyphonic electric guitar music:a new dataset and a multi-loss transformer model
Yu-Hua Chen, Wen-Yi Hsiao, Tsu-Kuang Hsieh +2
In this paper, we propose a new dataset named EGDB, that con-tains transcriptions of the electric guitar performance of 240 tab-latures rendered with different tones. Moreover, we…
Music Score Expansion with Variable-Length Infilling
Chih-Pin Tan, Chin-Jui Chang, Alvin W. Y. Su +1
In this paper, we investigate using the variable-length infilling (VLI) model, which is originally proposed to infill missing segments, to "prolong" existing musical segments at mu…
Theme Transformer: Symbolic Music Generation with Theme-Conditioned Transformer
Yi-Jen Shih, Shih-Lun Wu, Frank Zalkow +2
Attention-based Transformer models have been increasingly employed for automatic music generation. To condition the generation process of such a model with a user-specified sequenc…

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in research related to the detection of piano pedals from audio signals in the music information retrieval community. However, to our…
Deep Learning Based EDM Subgenre Classification using Mel-Spectrogram and Tempogram Features
Wei-Han Hsu, Bo-Yu Chen, Yi-Hsuan Yang
Along with the evolution of music technology, a large number of styles, or "subgenres," of Electronic Dance Music(EDM) have emerged in recent years. While the classification task o…
KaraSinger: Score-Free Singing Voice Synthesis with VQ-VAE using Mel-spectrograms
Chien-Feng Liao, Jen-Yu Liu, Yi-Hsuan Yang
In this paper, we propose a novel neural network model called KaraSinger for a less-studied singing voice synthesis (SVS) task named score-free SVS, in which the prosody and melody…
