• Abstract: We propose a new graph convolutional block, called MusGConv, specifically designed for the efficient processing of musical score data and motivated by general perceptual principles. It focuses on two fundamental dimensions of music, pitch and rhythm, and considers both relative and absolute representations of these components. We evaluate our approach on four different musical understanding problems: monophonic voice separation, harmonic analysis, cadence detection, and composer identification which, in abstract terms, translate to different graph learning problems, namely, node classification, link prediction, and graph classification. Our experiments demonstrate that MusGConv improves the performance on three of the aforementioned tasks while being conceptually very simple and efficient. We interpret this as evidence that it is beneficial to include perception-informed processing of fundamental musical concepts when developing graph network applications on musical score data.

  This paper approaches the problem of separating the notes from a quantized symbolic music piece (e.g., a MIDI file) into multiple voices and staves. We propose an end-to-end system based on graph neural networks that notes that belong to the same chord and connect them with edges if they are part of a voice.

We approach cadence detection as an imbalanced node classification problem using a Graph Convolutional Network. Our experiments suggest that graph convolution can learn non-local features that assist in cadence detection, freeing us from the need of having to devise specialized features that encode non-local context.

  Music emotion recognition is an important task in MIR (Music Information Retrieval) research. One important step towards better models would be to understand what a model is actually learning from the data. We show how to derive explanations of model predictions in terms of spectrogram image segments that connect to the high-level emotion prediction.
