Dance2MIDI: Dance-driven multi-instruments music generation

Dance-driven music generation aims to generate musical pieces conditioned on dance videos. Previous works focus on monophonic or raw audio generation, while the multiinstruments scenario is under-explored. The challenges of the dance-driven multi-instruments music (MIDI) generation are two-fold: 1) no publicly available multi-instruments MIDI and video paired dataset and 2) the weak correlation between music and video. To tackle these challenges, we build the first multi-instruments MIDI and dance paired dataset (D2MIDI). Based on our proposed dataset, we introduce a multi-instruments MIDI generation framework (Dance2MIDI) conditioned on dance video. Specifically, 1) to model the correlation between music and dance, we encode the dance motion using the GCN, and 2) to generate harmonious and coherent music, we employ Transformer to decode the MIDI sequence. We evaluate the generated music of our framework trained on D2MIDI dataset and demonstrate that our method outperforms existing methods. The data and code are available on https://github.com/Dance2MIDI/Dance2MID

The effects of large extra dimensions on associated ttˉh0t\bar{t} h^0 production at linear colliders

In the framework of the large extra dimensions (LED) model, the effects of LED on the processes \rrtth and \eetth at future linear colliders are investigated in both polarized and unpolarized collision modes. The results show that the virtual Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton exchange can significantly modify the standard model expectations for these processes with certain polarizations of initial states. The process \rrtth with $\sqrt{s}=3.5 TeV$ allows the effective scale $\Lambda_T$ to be probed up to 7.8 and 8.6 TeV in the unpolarized and $P_{\gamma} = 0.9$, J=2 polarized $\gamma \gamma$ collision modes, respectively. For the \eetth process with $\sqrt{s}=3.5 TeV$, the upper limits of $\Lambda_T$ to be observed can be 6.7 and 7.0 TeV in the unpolarized and $P_{e^+} = 0.6$, $P_{e^-} = 0.8$, $-+$ polarized $e^+e^-$ collision modes, respectively. We find the \rrtth channel in J=2 polarized photon collision mode provides a possibility to improve the sensitivity to the graviton tower exchange.Comment: To be appeard in Physical Review

QCD corrections to the R-parity violating processes ppˉ/pp→eμ+Xp\bar{p}/pp \to e\mu+X at hadron colliders

We present the QCD corrections to the processes $p\bar{p}/pp \to e\mu+X$ at the Tevatron and the CERN large hadron collider(LHC). The numerical results show that variation of K factor is in the range between $1.28(1.32)$ and $1.79(1.58)$ at the Tevatron(LHC). We find that the QCD correction part from the one-loop gluon-gluon fusion subprocess is remarkable at the LHC and should be taken into account.Comment: 7 pages, 6 Postscript figures, to be appeared in Phy.
