Psychological constraints on string-based methods for pattern discovery in polyphonic corpora
David R. W. Sears, Gerhard Widmer
Researchers often divide symbolic music corpora into contiguous sequences of n events (called n-grams) for the purposes of pattern discovery, key finding, classification, and predi…
Evaluating language models of tonal harmony
David R. W. Sears, Filip Korzeniowski, Gerhard Widmer
This study borrows and extends probabilistic language models from natural language processing to discover the syntactic properties of tonal harmony. Language models come in many sh…
A Large-Scale Study of Language Models for Chord Prediction
Filip Korzeniowski, David R. W. Sears, Gerhard Widmer
We conduct a large-scale study of language models for chord prediction. Specifically, we compare N-gram models to various flavours of recurrent neural networks on a comprehensive d…
