• Abstract: We introduce anticipation: a method for constructing a controllable generative model of a temporal point process (the event process) conditioned asynchronously on realizations of a second, correlated process (the control process). We achieve this by interleaving sequences of events and controls, such that controls appear following stopping times in the event sequence. This work is motivated by problems arising in the control of symbolic music generation. We focus on infilling control tasks, whereby the controls are a subset of the events themselves, and conditional generation completes a sequence of events given the fixed control events. We train anticipatory infilling models using the large and diverse Lakh MIDI music dataset. These models match the performance of autoregressive models for prompted music generation, with the additional capability to perform infilling control tasks, including accompaniment. Human evaluators report that an anticipatory model produces accompaniments with similar musicality to even music composed by humans over a 20-second clip.

  BandControlNet is designed to tackle the multiple music sequences and generate high-quality music samples conditioned to the giventemporal control features. The proposed BandControlNet outperforms other conditional music generation models on most objective metrics in terms of fidelity and inference speed. The subjective evaluations show trained on short datasets can generate music with comparable quality to state-of-the-art models, while outperforming significantly using BandControlNet.
