MusiChat: Vibe Composing for Music Creation

Recent advances in AI music generation have enabled users to create complete musical pieces from natural-language prompts. However, most existing systems follow a prompt-and-regenerate paradigm, making iterative refinement difficult because users must repeatedly recreate compositions instead of directly evolving existing musical ideas.

On the Human and Computer Alignment of Attribute-Based Music Matches

The paper introduces the MATCHA dataset, comprising 1,105 perceptual assessments from 83 experts on attribute-based music matches across five musical attributes—melody, harmony, rhythm, voice, and timbre. A triplet-based forced-choice experiment with 300 cases, including plagiarism, cover songs, and AI-generated music, was used to gather these judgments. Results show measurable agreement among participants and partial alignment with computational similarity measures, highlighting the need for perceptually grounded evaluation in generative AI for music.

Pianist Transformer: Towards Expressive Piano Performance Rendering via Scalable Self-Supervised Pre-Training

arXiv:2512. 02652v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing methods for expressive music performance rendering, a conditional generation task that aims to generate a human-like performance from a symbolic score, rely on supervised learning over small labeled datasets, which limits scaling of both data volume and model size, despite the availability of vast unlabeled music, as in vision and language.
