arXiv:2608. 18025v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: GPT-style models achieve strong performance by representing language with finite vocabularies of reusable discrete tokens.
arXiv:2608. 00576v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-polyphony symbolic music is increasingly used in generation, analysis, and arrangement, yet many downstream tasks require bounded representations with fixed tracks or slots.
arXiv:2604. 19532v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Tokenizing music to fit the general framework of language models is a compelling challenge, especially considering the diverse symbolic structures in which music can be represented (e.
arXiv:2607. 14537v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rich internal representations of musical structure are essential for music understanding tasks such as machine-assisted music co-writing, yet self-supervised approaches for symbolic music representation remain underexplored, particularly those that encode the hierarchical multiscale nature of musical structures.
arXiv:2607. 11124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Music creation is fundamentally a process of revision.
arXiv:2608. 03920v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humans recognize a musical passage even when it is shifted in time or transposed in pitch, indicating a notion of equivariance in the representation space.
arXiv:2412. 11449v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose WHISPER-GPT: A generative large language model (LLM) for speech and music that allows us to work with continuous audio representations and discrete tokens simultaneously as part of a single architecture.
arXiv:2606. 30642v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-length song generation must preserve coherence and musicality, render detailed vocal and accompaniment acoustics, and follow lyrics and prompts.
arXiv:2607. 01849v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Musical performance involves executing a set of high-level musical instructions, yet recovering those instructions from the performance is a challenging inverse problem.
arXiv:2608. 03050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: What is music style?
arXiv:2607. 19776v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing symbolic music generation models typically use bars as the basic structural unit.
arXiv:2608. 04378v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Collaborative music agents need internal representations rich enough to support both understanding and generation, yet flexible enough for a workflow where the human retains agency.
arXiv:2608. 09035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-music generation has advanced rapidly, but current systems still rely primarily on global text prompts, leaving the structural organization of generated music implicit and difficult to inspect, control, or revise before audio generation.
