• Title: Audio-to-symbolic Arrangement via Cross-modal Music Representation Learning
• Authors: Ziyu Wang, Dejing Xu, Gus Xia, Ying Shan
• Abstract summary: A good arrangement model should not only consider the audio content but also have prior knowledge of piano composition. We contribute a cross-modal representation-learning model, which extracts chord and melodic information from the audio. Experiments show that our model captures major audio information and outperforms baselines in generation quality.

• Abstract: Could we automatically derive the score of a piano accompaniment based on the audio of a pop song? This is the audio-to-symbolic arrangement problem we tackle in this paper. A good arrangement model should not only consider the audio content but also have prior knowledge of piano composition (so that the generation "sounds like" the audio and meanwhile maintains musicality.) To this end, we contribute a cross-modal representation-learning model, which 1) extracts chord and melodic information from the audio, and 2) learns texture representation from both audio and a corrupted ground truth arrangement. We further introduce a tailored training strategy that gradually shifts the source of texture information from corrupted score to audio. In the end, the score-based texture posterior is reduced to a standard normal distribution, and only audio is needed for inference. Experiments show that our model captures major audio information and outperforms baselines in generation quality.

• Combining audio control and style transfer using latent diffusion [1.705371629600151]
  In this paper, we aim to unify explicit control and style transfer within a single model. Our model can generate audio matching a timbre target, while specifying structure either with explicit controls or through another audio example. We show that our method can generate cover versions of complete musical pieces by transferring rhythmic and melodic content to the style of a target audio in a different genre.

  Generation of audio from text prompts is an important aspect of such processes in the music and film industry. Our hypothesis is focusing on how these aspects of audio generation could improve audio generation performance in the presence of limited data. We synthetically create a preference dataset where each prompt has a winner audio output and some loser audio outputs for the diffusion model to learn from.

The scenarios we consider include continuation, inpainting and regeneration of musical audio, the creation of smooth transitions between two different music tracks, and the transfer of desired stylistic characteristics to existing audio clips.

  Video-to-speech synthesis is the task of reconstructing the speech signal from a silent video of a speaker. In this paper we propose to train encoder-decoder models on more than 3,500 hours of audio data at 24kHz. We then use the pre-trained decoders to initialize the audio decoders for the video-to-speech synthesis task.

  We introduce Noise2Music, where a series of diffusion models is trained to generate high-quality 30-second music clips from text prompts. We find that the generated audio is not only able to faithfully reflect key elements of the text prompt such as genre, tempo, instruments, mood, and era. Pretrained large language models play a key role in this story -- they are used to generate paired text for the audio of the training set and to extract embeddings of the text prompts ingested by the diffusion models.

  multimodal generative modeling has created milestones in text-to-image and text-to-video generation. Its application to audio still lags behind for two main reasons: the lack of large-scale datasets with high-quality text-audio pairs, and the complexity of modeling long continuous audio data. We propose Make-An-Audio with a prompt-enhanced diffusion model that addresses these gaps.
