• Authors: Zhe Zhang, Yi Yu, Atsuhiro Takasu
• Abstract summary: We propose a controllable lyrics-to-melody generation network, ConL2M, which is able to generate realistic melodies from lyrics in user-desired musical style. Our work contains three main novelties: 1) To model the dependencies of music attributes cross multiple sequences, inter-branch memory fusion (Memofu) is proposed to enable information flow between multi-branch stacked LSTM architecture; 2) Reference style embedding (RSE) is proposed to improve the quality of generation as well as control the musical style of generated melodies; 3) Sequence-level statistical loss (SeqLoss) is proposed to help the model learn sequence-level

• Abstract: Lyrics-to-melody generation is an interesting and challenging topic in AI music research field. Due to the difficulty of learning the correlations between lyrics and melody, previous methods suffer from low generation quality and lack of controllability. Controllability of generative models enables human interaction with models to generate desired contents, which is especially important in music generation tasks towards human-centered AI that can facilitate musicians in creative activities. To address these issues, we propose a controllable lyrics-to-melody generation network, ConL2M, which is able to generate realistic melodies from lyrics in user-desired musical style. Our work contains three main novelties: 1) To model the dependencies of music attributes cross multiple sequences, inter-branch memory fusion (Memofu) is proposed to enable information flow between multi-branch stacked LSTM architecture; 2) Reference style embedding (RSE) is proposed to improve the quality of generation as well as control the musical style of generated melodies; 3) Sequence-level statistical loss (SeqLoss) is proposed to help the model learn sequence-level features of melodies given lyrics. Verified by evaluation metrics for music quality and controllability, initial study of controllable lyrics-to-melody generation shows better generation quality and the feasibility of interacting with users to generate the melodies in desired musical styles when given lyrics.

  SongCreator is a song-generation system designed to tackle the challenge of generating songs with both vocals and accompaniment given lyrics. The model features two novel designs: a meticulously designed dual-sequence language model (M) to capture the information of vocals and accompaniment for song generation, and a series of attention mask strategies for DSLM. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of SongCreator by achieving state-of-the-art or competitive performances on all eight tasks.

• Unsupervised Melody-to-Lyric Generation [91.29447272400826]
  We propose a method for generating high-quality lyrics without training on any aligned melody-lyric data. We leverage the segmentation and rhythm alignment between melody and lyrics to compile the given melody into decoding constraints. Our model can generate high-quality lyrics that are more on-topic, singable, intelligible, and coherent than strong baselines.
