• Title: Composer Style-specific Symbolic Music Generation Using Vector Quantized Discrete Diffusion Models
• Authors: Jincheng Zhang, György Fazekas, Charalampos Saitis,
• Abstract summary: We propose to combine a vector quantized variational autoencoder (VQ-VAE) and discrete diffusion models for the generation of symbolic music. The trained VQ-VAE can represent symbolic music as a sequence of indexes that correspond to specific entries in a learned codebook. The diffusion model is trained to generate intermediate music sequences consisting of codebook indexes, which are then decoded to symbolic music using the VQ-VAE's decoder.

• Abstract: Emerging Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) have become increasingly utilised because of promising results they have achieved in diverse generative tasks with continuous data, such as image and sound synthesis. Nonetheless, the success of diffusion models has not been fully extended to discrete symbolic music. We propose to combine a vector quantized variational autoencoder (VQ-VAE) and discrete diffusion models for the generation of symbolic music with desired composer styles. The trained VQ-VAE can represent symbolic music as a sequence of indexes that correspond to specific entries in a learned codebook. Subsequently, a discrete diffusion model is used to model the VQ-VAE's discrete latent space. The diffusion model is trained to generate intermediate music sequences consisting of codebook indexes, which are then decoded to symbolic music using the VQ-VAE's decoder. The evaluation results demonstrate our model can generate symbolic music with target composer styles that meet the given conditions with a high accuracy of 72.36%. Our code is available at https://github.com/jinchengzhanggg/VQVAE-Diffusion.

  A crucial component of language models is the tokenizer, which compresses high-dimensional natural signals into lower-dimensional discrete tokens. We introduce WavTokenizer, which offers several advantages over previous SOTA acoustic models in the audio domain.

  Deep generative models can generate high-fidelity audio conditioned on various types of representations. These models are prone to generate audible artifacts when the conditioning is flawed or imperfect. We propose a high-fidelity multi-band diffusion-based framework that generates any type of audio modality from low-bitrate discrete representations.

  We study learning deep discrete representations from the generative viewpoint. We endow discrete distributions over sequences of codewords and learn a deterministic decoder that transports the distribution over the sequences of codewords to the data distribution. We develop further theories to connect it with the clustering viewpoint of WS distance, allowing us to have a better and more controllable clustering solution.
