Music is usually highly structured and it is still an open question how to design models which can successfully learn to recognize and represent musical structure. A fundamental problem is that structurally related patterns can have very…
More often than not in benchmark supervised ML, tabular data is flat, i.e. consists of a single $m \times d$ (rows, columns) file, but cases abound in the real world where observations are described by a set of tables with structural…
