High-dimensional sequence transduction
We investigate the problem of transforming an input sequence into a
high-dimensional output sequence in order to transcribe polyphonic audio music
into symbolic notation. We introduce a probabilistic model based on a recurrent
neural network that is able to learn realistic output distributions given the
input and we devise an efficient algorithm to search for the global mode of
that distribution. The resulting method produces musically plausible
transcriptions even under high levels of noise and drastically outperforms
previous state-of-the-art approaches on five datasets of synthesized sounds and
real recordings, approximately halving the test error rate

Explicit duration hidden Markov models for multiple-instrument polyphonic music transcription
Joint Multi-Pitch Detection Using Harmonic Envelope Estimation for Polyphonic Music Transcription
In this paper, a method for automatic transcription of music signals based on joint multiple-F0 estimation is proposed. As a time-frequency representation, the constant-Q resonator time-frequency image is employed, while a novel noise suppression technique based on pink noise assumption is applied in a preprocessing step. In the multiple-F0 estimation stage, the optimal tuning and inharmonicity parameters are computed and a salience function is proposed in order to select pitch candidates. For each pitch candidate combination, an overlapping partial treatment procedure is used, which is based on a novel spectral envelope estimation procedure for the log-frequency domain, in order to compute the harmonic envelope of candidate pitches. In order to select the optimal pitch combination for each time frame, a score function is proposed which combines spectral and temporal characteristics of the candidate pitches and also aims to suppress harmonic errors. For postprocessing, hidden Markov models (HMMs) and conditional random fields (CRFs) trained on MIDI data are employed, in order to boost transcription accuracy. The system was trained on isolated piano sounds from the MAPS database and was tested on classic and jazz recordings from the RWC database, as well as on recordings from a Disklavier piano. A comparison with several state-of-the-art systems is provided using a variety of error metrics, where encouraging results are indicated
Weakly-Supervised Temporal Localization via Occurrence Count Learning
We propose a novel model for temporal detection and localization which allows
the training of deep neural networks using only counts of event occurrences as
training labels. This powerful weakly-supervised framework alleviates the
burden of the imprecise and time-consuming process of annotating event
locations in temporal data. Unlike existing methods, in which localization is
explicitly achieved by design, our model learns localization implicitly as a
byproduct of learning to count instances. This unique feature is a direct
consequence of the model's theoretical properties. We validate the
effectiveness of our approach in a number of experiments (drum hit and piano
onset detection in audio, digit detection in images) and demonstrate
performance comparable to that of fully-supervised state-of-the-art methods,
despite much weaker training requirements.Comment: Accepted at ICML 201
A music cognition-guided framework for multi-pitch estimation.
As one of the most important subtasks of automatic music transcription (AMT), multi-pitch estimation (MPE) has been studied extensively for predicting the fundamental frequencies in the frames of audio recordings during the past decade. However, how to use music perception and cognition for MPE has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Motivated by this, this demonstrates how to effectively detect the fundamental frequency and the harmonic structure of polyphonic music using a cognitive framework. Inspired by cognitive neuroscience, an integration of the constant Q transform and a state-of-the-art matrix factorization method called shift-invariant probabilistic latent component analysis (SI-PLCA) are proposed to resolve the polyphonic short-time magnitude log-spectra for multiple pitch estimation and source-specific feature extraction. The cognitions of rhythm, harmonic periodicity and instrument timbre are used to guide the analysis of characterizing contiguous notes and the relationship between fundamental frequency and harmonic frequencies for detecting the pitches from the outcomes of SI-PLCA. In the experiment, we compare the performance of proposed MPE system to a number of existing state-of-the-art approaches (seven weak learning methods and four deep learning methods) on three widely used datasets (i.e. MAPS, BACH10 and TRIOS) in terms of F-measure (F1) values. The experimental results show that the proposed MPE method provides the best overall performance against other existing methods
