• Abstract summary: Music SketchNet is a neural network framework that allows users to specify partial musical ideas guiding automatic music generation. We focus on generating the missing measures in incomplete monophonic musical pieces, conditioned on surrounding context. We demonstrate that our model can successfully incorporate user-specified snippets during the generation process.

• Abstract: Drawing an analogy with automatic image completion systems, we propose Music SketchNet, a neural network framework that allows users to specify partial musical ideas guiding automatic music generation. We focus on generating the missing measures in incomplete monophonic musical pieces, conditioned on surrounding context, and optionally guided by user-specified pitch and rhythm snippets. First, we introduce SketchVAE, a novel variational autoencoder that explicitly factorizes rhythm and pitch contour to form the basis of our proposed model. Then we introduce two discriminative architectures, SketchInpainter and SketchConnector, that in conjunction perform the guided music completion, filling in representations for the missing measures conditioned on surrounding context and user-specified snippets. We evaluate SketchNet on a standard dataset of Irish folk music and compare with models from recent works. When used for music completion, our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art both in terms of objective metrics and subjective listening tests. Finally, we demonstrate that our model can successfully incorporate user-specified snippets during the generation process.

  We are inspired by how musicians compose music not just from a movie script, but also through visualizations. We propose MeLFusion, a model that can effectively use cues from a textual description and the corresponding image to synthesize music. Our exhaustive experimental evaluation suggests that adding visual information to the music synthesis pipeline significantly improves the quality of generated music.

  This paper introduces a novel graph representation for music and a deep Variational Autoencoder that generates the structure and the content of musical graphs separately. By separating the structure and content of musical graphs, it is possible to condition generation by specifying which instruments are played at certain times.

  Symbolic music generation aims to create musical notes, which can help users compose music. We introduce a framework known as GETMusic, with GET'' standing for GEnerate music Tracks'' GETScore represents musical notes as tokens and organizes tokens in a 2D structure, with tracks stacked vertically and progressing horizontally over time. Our proposed representation, coupled with the non-autoregressive generative model, empowers GETMusic to generate music with any arbitrary source-target track combinations.

  Symbolic Music Generation relies on the contextual representation capabilities of the generative model. We propose a multi-scale Transformer, which uses coarse-decoder and fine-decoders to model the contexts at the global and section-level. Our model is evaluated on two open MIDI datasets, and experiments show that our model outperforms the best contemporary symbolic music generative models.

The generated examples show that the mapping between audio and video makes a certain level of intra-segment similarity and inter-segment dissimilarity.

  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.
