MIDI-RAE-JEPA: Hierarchical Representation Learning and Generation for Symbolic Music

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.

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.
