• Abstract: In this paper we introduce a novel feature augmentation approach for generating structured musical compositions comprising melodies and harmonies. The proposed method augments a connectionist generation model with count-down to song conclusion and meter markers as extra input features to study whether neural networks can learn to produce more aesthetically pleasing and structured musical output as a consequence of augmenting the input data with structural features. An RNN architecture with LSTM cells is trained on the Nottingham folk music dataset in a supervised sequence learning setup, following a Music Language Modelling approach, and then applied to generation of harmonies and melodies. Our experiments show an improved prediction performance for both types of annotation. The generated music was also subjectively evaluated using an on-line Turing style listening test which confirms a substantial improvement in the aesthetic quality and in the perceived structure of the music generated using the temporal structure.

  We explore the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) to the pre-training of music. To address the challenges associated with misaligned measures from different tracks during generation, we propose a Synchronized Multi-Track ABC Notation (SMT-ABC Notation) Our contributions include a series of models capable of handling up to 8192 tokens, covering 90% of the symbolic music data in our training set.

  WuYun is a knowledge-enhanced deep learning architecture for improving structure of generated melodies. We use music domain knowledge to extract melodic skeletons and employ sequence learning to reconstruct them. We demonstrate that WuYun can generate melodies with better long-term structure and musicality and outperforms other state-of-the-art methods by 0.51 on average.

  This paper takes the framework proposed in a previous research that did not consider rhythm to make a series of design decisions, then, rhythm support is added to evaluate the performance of two RNN memory cells in the creation of monophonic music. The model considers the handling of music transposition and the framework evaluates the quality of the generated pieces using automatic quantitative metrics based on geometry which have rhythm support added as well.

  We present a model for composing melodies given a user specified symbolic scenario combined with a previous music context. Our model is capable of generating long melodies by regarding 8-beat note sequences as basic units, and shares consistent rhythm pattern structure with another specific song. Results show that the music generated by our model tends to have salient repetition structures, rich motives, and stable rhythm patterns.

  I explore the application of artificial neural networks to different aspects of musical structure modeling. I show how a connectionist model, the Gated Autoencoder (GAE), can be employed to learn transformations between musical fragments. I propose a special predictive training of the GAE, which yields a representation of polyphonic music as a sequence of intervals.
