arXiv:2607. 05769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose a novel pipeline, Legato 2, for extracting symbolic notation and semantic knowledge from images of sheet music.
Optical music recognition (OMR) transcribes music scores into digital formats. While the field has advanced significantly on monophonic and piano-form scores, multi-part score transcription remains underexplored, largely due to the absence of a suitable dataset.
Optical Music Recognition (OMR) has seen major progress in model design, with end-to-end methods now capable of recognising notation at all levels of complexity. However, the impact of this progress has been limited by the visual domains of available training datasets, which are largely born-digital.
Generalizable Audio-to-Score (A2S) transcription is fundamentally constrained by the severe scarcity of high-quality, real-world paired data. Relying solely on existing human-annotated datasets often...
UniLipi is a unified multi‑script OCR model trained on 13 Indic scripts to recognize handwritten manuscripts under challenging conditions such as varied line geometry, length, and interruptions by non‑textual elements. It uses script‑aware synthetic data generation to perform well even with limited real annotated data. The model also predicts script identity and per‑line character counts, aiding manuscript cataloging, and its representations transfer to contemporary Indic handwriting and several non‑Indic scripts.
TUTTI is a new pre‑training framework for audio‑to‑score transcription that uses a large, fully synthetic multi‑instrument dataset generated by a symbolic music model. The approach trains a standard Transformer encoder‑decoder on these synthetic audio‑score pairs, producing a stronger foundational representation than single‑instrument training. When fine‑tuned on real datasets, TUTTI surpasses prior methods, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results and demonstrating strong cross‑instrument transferability.
arXiv:2609.37195v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) systems have become an indispensable tool for the digitization of historical documents. Not only do they cut down ti...
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.
arXiv:2608. 06165v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing audio-to-score (A2S) systems primarily focus on classical music, and the application to popular music remains underexplored.
arXiv:2607. 15509v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a fully automated closed-loop AutoML framework that uses GPT-5, GPT-4o, and Claude Sonnet 4 as autonomous neural architecture designers for cross-lingual handwritten optical character recognition.
arXiv:2607. 00777v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recognizing jazz standards from audio is a challenging form of tune-level music retrieval: different performances of the same standard may vary in tempo, key, arrangement, instrumentation, improvisational content, and even whether the head melody is present.
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.
