• Title: A Data-Driven Methodology for Considering Feasibility and Pairwise Likelihood in Deep Learning Based Guitar Tablature Transcription Systems
• Authors: Frank Cwitkowitz, Jonathan Driedger, Zhiyao Duan
• Abstract summary: In this work, symbolic tablature is leveraged to estimate the pairwise likelihood of notes on the guitar. The output layer of a baseline tablature transcription model is reformulated, such that an inhibition loss can be incorporated to discourage the co-activation of unlikely note pairs. This naturally enforces playability constraints for guitar, and yields tablature which is more consistent with the symbolic data used to estimate pairwise likelihoods.

• Abstract: Guitar tablature transcription is an important but understudied problem within the field of music information retrieval. Traditional signal processing approaches offer only limited performance on the task, and there is little acoustic data with transcription labels for training machine learning models. However, guitar transcription labels alone are more widely available in the form of tablature, which is commonly shared among guitarists online. In this work, a collection of symbolic tablature is leveraged to estimate the pairwise likelihood of notes on the guitar. The output layer of a baseline tablature transcription model is reformulated, such that an inhibition loss can be incorporated to discourage the co-activation of unlikely note pairs. This naturally enforces playability constraints for guitar, and yields tablature which is more consistent with the symbolic data used to estimate pairwise likelihoods. With this methodology, we show that symbolic tablature can be used to shape the distribution of a tablature transcription model's predictions, even when little acoustic data is available.

• Guitar Chord Diagram Suggestion for Western Popular Music [43.58572466488356]
  Chord diagrams are used by guitar players to show where and how to play a chord on the fretboard. We show that some chord diagrams are over-represented in western popular music and that some chords can be played in more than 20 different ways. We argue that taking context into account can improve the variety and the quality of chord diagram suggestion, and compare this approach with a model taking only the current chord label into account.

• Modeling Bends in Popular Music Guitar Tablatures [49.64902130083662]
  Tablature notation is widely used in popular music to transcribe and share guitar musical content. This paper focuses on bends, which enable to progressively shift the pitch of a note, therefore circumventing physical limitations of the discrete fretted fingerboard. Experiments are performed on a corpus of 932 lead guitar tablatures of popular music and show that a decision tree successfully predicts bend occurrences with an F1 score of 0.71 anda limited amount of false positive predictions.

  We use the DadaGP dataset for guitar tab music generation, a corpus of over 26k songs in GuitarPro and token formats. We introduce methods to condition a Transformer-XL deep learning model to generate guitar tabs based on desired instrumentation and genre. Results indicate that the GTR-CTRL methods provide more flexibility and control for guitar-focused symbolic music generation than an unconditioned model.

  Key challenge in melody transcription is building methods which can handle broad audio containing any number of instrument ensembles and musical styles.

We derive a new dataset containing $50$ hours of melody transcriptions from crowdsourced annotations of broad music.

  The goal of weak supervision is to enable models to learn using only forms of labelling which are cheaper to collect. This is a type of incomplete annotation where, for each datapoint, supervision is cast as a set of labels containing the real one. This paper provides a unified framework based on structured prediction and on the concept of infimum loss to deal with partial labelling.
