Many people enjoy classical symphonic music. Its diverse instrumentation makes for a rich listening experience. This diversity adds to the conductor's expressive freedom to shape the sound according to their imagination. As a result, the…
We describe a proof-of-principle implementation of a system for drawing melodies that abstracts away from a note-level input representation via melodic contours. The aim is to allow users to express their musical intentions without…
Most work on musical score models (a.k.a. musical language models) for music transcription has focused on describing the local sequential dependence of notes in musical scores and failed to capture their global repetitive structure, which…
There has been an everlasting discussion around the concept of form in music. This work is motivated by such debate by using a complex systems framework in which we study the form as an emergent property of rhythm. Such a framework…
Graph compositions generalize both integer compositions and partitions of a finite set. We develop formulas, generating functions and recurrence relations for composition counting functions for several families of graphs.
This paper describes a general method for representing $k$-token graphs of Cayley graphs as lifts of voltage graphs. This allows us to construct line graphs of circulant graphs and Johnson graphs as lift graphs on cyclic groups. As an…
We describe the generic modules in each component of the spaces of representations of certain string algebras. In so doing, we calculate the dimensions of higher self-extension groups for generic modules. This algorithm lends itself for use…
Repetition is a basic indicator of musical structure. This study introduces new algorithms for identifying musical phrases based on repetition. Phrases combine to form sections yielding a two-level hierarchical structure. Automatically…
Automatic melody generation for pop music has been a long-time aspiration for both AI researchers and musicians. However, learning to generate euphonious melody has turned out to be highly challenging due to a number of factors.…
Musical mode is one of the most critical element that establishes the framework of pitch organization and determines the harmonic relationships. Previous works often use the simplistic and rigid alignment method, and overlook the diversity…
Emotion and expressivity in music have been topics of considerable interest in the field of music information retrieval. In recent years, mid-level perceptual features have been suggested as means to explain computational predictions of…
As music streaming services dominate the music industry, the playlist is becoming an increasingly crucial element of music consumption. Con- sequently, the music recommendation problem is often casted as a playlist generation prob- lem.…
Led by the success of neural style transfer on visual arts, there has been a rising trend very recently in the effort of music style transfer. However, "music style" is not yet a well-defined concept from a scientific point of view. The…
We present a simplified exposition of some classical and modern results on graph drawings in the plane. These results are chosen so that they illustrate some spectacular recent higher-dimensional results on the border of topology and…
Inspired by theories such as Loop Quantum Gravity, a class of stochastic graph dynamics was studied in an attempt to gain a better understanding of discrete relational systems under the influence of local dynamics. Unlabeled graphs in a…
Graph drawings are commonly used to visualize relational data. User understanding and performance are linked to the quality of such drawings, which is measured by quality metrics. The tacit knowledge in the graph drawing community about…
Graph polynomials encode fundamental combinatorial invariants of graphs. Their computation is investigated using tree and path decomposition frameworks, with formal definitions of treewidth, k-trees, and pathwidth establishing the…
Rhythm patterns can be performed with a wide variation of tempi. This presents a challenge for many music information retrieval (MIR) systems; ideally, perceptually similar rhythms should be represented and processed similarly, regardless…
Wave propagation through nodes and links of a network forms the basis of spectral graph theory. Nevertheless, the sound emitted by nodes within the resonating chamber formed by a network are not well studied. The sound emitted by vibrations…
A commonly-cited reason for the poor performance of automatic chord estimation (ACE) systems within music information retrieval (MIR) is that non-chord tones (i.e., notes outside the supporting harmony) contribute to error during the…
