• Abstract summary: We propose large-scale MIDI based composer classification systems using GiantMIDI-Piano. We are the first to investigate the composer classification problem with up to 100 composers. Our system achieves a 10-composer and a 100-composer classification accuracies of 0.648 and 0.385.

• Abstract: Music classification is a task to classify a music piece into labels such as genres or composers. We propose large-scale MIDI based composer classification systems using GiantMIDI-Piano, a transcription-based dataset. We propose to use piano rolls, onset rolls, and velocity rolls as input representations and use deep neural networks as classifiers. To our knowledge, we are the first to investigate the composer classification problem with up to 100 composers. By using convolutional recurrent neural networks as models, our MIDI based composer classification system achieves a 10-composer and a 100-composer classification accuracies of 0.648 and 0.385 (evaluated on 30-second clips) and 0.739 and 0.489 (evaluated on music pieces), respectively. Our MIDI based composer system outperforms several audio-based baseline classification systems, indicating the effectiveness of using compact MIDI representations for composer classification.

  This paper approaches the problem of separating the notes from a quantized symbolic music piece (e.g., a MIDI file) into multiple voices and staves. We propose an end-to-end system based on graph neural networks that notes that belong to the same chord and connect them with edges if they are part of a voice.

  RMS-SVS aims to generate high-quality singing voices given realistic music scores with different note types. We propose RMSSinger, the first RMS-SVS method, which takes realistic music scores as input. In RMSSinger, we introduce word-level modeling to avoid the time-consuming phoneme duration annotation and the complicated phoneme-level mel-note alignment.

  Key challenge in melody transcription is building methods which can handle broad audio containing any number of instrument ensembles and musical styles. To confront this challenge, we leverage representations from Jukebox (Dhariwal et al. 2020), a generative model of broad music audio. We derive a new dataset containing $50$ hours of melody transcriptions from crowdsourced annotations of broad music.
