• Title: End-to-End Real-World Polyphonic Piano Audio-to-Score Transcription with Hierarchical Decoding
• Authors: Wei Zeng, Xian He, Ye Wang,
• Abstract summary: Existing end-to-end piano A2S systems have been trained and evaluated with only synthetic data. We propose a sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) model with a hierarchical decoder that aligns with the hierarchical structure of musical scores. We propose a two-stage training scheme, which involves pre-training the model using an expressive performance rendering system on synthetic audio, followed by fine-tuning the model using recordings of human performance.

• Abstract: Piano audio-to-score transcription (A2S) is an important yet underexplored task with extensive applications for music composition, practice, and analysis. However, existing end-to-end piano A2S systems faced difficulties in retrieving bar-level information such as key and time signatures, and have been trained and evaluated with only synthetic data. To address these limitations, we propose a sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) model with a hierarchical decoder that aligns with the hierarchical structure of musical scores, enabling the transcription of score information at both the bar and note levels by multi-task learning. To bridge the gap between synthetic data and recordings of human performance, we propose a two-stage training scheme, which involves pre-training the model using an expressive performance rendering (EPR) system on synthetic audio, followed by fine-tuning the model using recordings of human performance. To preserve the voicing structure for score reconstruction, we propose a pre-processing method for **Kern scores in scenarios with an unconstrained number of voices. Experimental results support the effectiveness of our proposed approaches, in terms of both transcription performance on synthetic audio data in comparison to the current state-of-the-art, and the first experiment on human recordings.

  We propose a methodology for dataset curation. We compile a dataset comprising 509 musical dynamics annotated singing voice performances, aligned with 163 score files. We train a CNN model with varying window sizes to evaluate the effectiveness of estimating musical dynamics. We conclude through our experiments that bark-scale based features outperform log-Mel-features for the task of singing voice dynamics prediction.
