• Title: Annotation-free Automatic Music Transcription with Scalable Synthetic Data and Adversarial Domain Confusion
• Authors: Gakusei Sato, Taketo Akama,
• Abstract summary: We propose a transcription model that does not require any MIDI-audio paired data for pre-training and adversarial domain confusion. In experiments, we evaluate methods under the real-world application scenario where training datasets do not include the MIDI annotation of audio. Our proposed method achieved competitive performance relative to established baseline methods, despite not utilizing any real datasets of paired MIDI-audio.

• Abstract: Automatic Music Transcription (AMT) is a vital technology in the field of music information processing. Despite recent enhancements in performance due to machine learning techniques, current methods typically attain high accuracy in domains where abundant annotated data is available. Addressing domains with low or no resources continues to be an unresolved challenge. To tackle this issue, we propose a transcription model that does not require any MIDI-audio paired data through the utilization of scalable synthetic audio for pre-training and adversarial domain confusion using unannotated real audio. In experiments, we evaluate methods under the real-world application scenario where training datasets do not include the MIDI annotation of audio in the target data domain. Our proposed method achieved competitive performance relative to established baseline methods, despite not utilizing any real datasets of paired MIDI-audio. Additionally, ablation studies have provided insights into the scalability of this approach and the forthcoming challenges in the field of AMT research.

• Analyzing and reducing the synthetic-to-real transfer gap in Music Information Retrieval: the task of automatic drum transcription [0.6554326244334866]
  A popular method used to increase the amount of data is by generating them synthetically from music scores rendered with virtual instruments. This method can produce a virtually infinite quantity of tracks, but empirical evidence shows that models trained on previously created synthetic datasets do not transfer well to real tracks. In this work, besides increasing the amount of data, we identify and evaluate three more strategies that practitioners can use to improve the realism of the generated data.

  Acoustic matching aims to re-synthesize an audio clip to sound as if it were recorded in a target acoustic environment. We propose a self-supervised approach to visual acoustic matching where training samples include only the target scene image and audio. Our approach jointly learns to disentangle room acoustics and re-synthesize audio into the target environment, via a conditional GAN framework and a novel metric.

  Machine learning algorithms can be negatively affected by mismatches between training (source) and test (target) data distributions. We propose an unsupervised domain adaptation method that consists of aligning the first- and second-order sample statistics of each frequency band of target-domain acoustic scenes to the ones of the source-domain training dataset. We show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised methods found in the literature in terms of both source- and target-domain classification accuracy.
