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.
