Version identification (VI) has seen substantial progress over the past few years. On the one hand, the introduction of the metric learning paradigm has favored the emergence of scalable yet accurate VI systems. On the other hand, using…
The recent explosion of generative AI-Music systems has raised numerous concerns over data copyright, licensing music from musicians, and the conflict between open-source AI and large prestige companies. Such issues highlight the need for…
Gesture-driven music generation is an emerging human-computer interaction paradigm for touch-free and expressive musical interaction. However, many existing approaches treat the task as isolated gesture classification or map gestures to…
The setlist identification (SLI) task addresses a music recognition use case where the goal is to retrieve the metadata and timestamps for all the tracks played in live music events. Due to various musical and non-musical changes in live…
Large-scale optical music recognition (OMR) research has focused mainly on Western staff notation, leaving Chinese Jianpu (numbered notation) and its rich lyric resources underexplored. We present a modular expert-system pipeline that…
Recent advances in symbolic music generation primarily rely on deep learning models such as Transformers, GANs, and diffusion models. While these approaches achieve high-quality results, they require substantial computational resources,…
Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is a collaborative scientific study that help to build innovative information research themes, novel frameworks, and developing connected delivery mechanisms in addition to making the world's massive…
In this paper, we introduce the MIDI Degradation Toolkit (MDTK), containing functions which take as input a musical excerpt (a set of notes with pitch, onset time, and duration), and return a "degraded" version of that excerpt with some…
The automated creation of accurate musical notation from an expressive human performance is a fundamental task in computational musicology. To this end, we present an end-to-end deep learning approach that constructs detailed musical scores…
Symbolic Music Emotion Recognition(SMER) is to predict music emotion from symbolic data, such as MIDI and MusicXML. Previous work mainly focused on learning better representation via (mask) language model pre-training but ignored the…
Current version identification (VI) datasets often lack sufficient size and musical diversity to train robust neural networks (NNs). Additionally, their non-representative clique size distributions prevent realistic system evaluations. To…
We present vega-mir, an open-source Python library that bundles nine information-theoretic and statistical metrics for the analysis of symbolic music corpora behind a small, tested, citable API, and demonstrates two of them at corpus scale…
Music is characterized by aspects related to different modalities, such as the audio signal, the lyrics, or the music video clips. This has motivated the development of multimodal datasets and methods for Music Information Retrieval (MIR)…
Cross-modal retrieval between audio recordings and symbolic music representations (MIDI) remains challenging because continuous waveforms and discrete event sequences encode different aspects of the same performance. We study descriptor…
We present the findings of a pilot-study that analysed the role of haptic feedback in a musical context. To examine the role of haptics in Digital Musical Instrument (DMI) design an experiment was formulated to measure the users' perception…
Music plagiarism detection is gaining more and more attention due to the popularity of music production and society's emphasis on intellectual property. We aim to find fine-grained plagiarism in music pairs since conventional methods are…
Human multimodal emotion recognition (MER) aims to perceive human emotions via language, visual and acoustic modalities. Despite the impressive performance of previous MER approaches, the inherent multimodal heterogeneities still haunt and…
Music Structure Analysis is an open research task in Music Information Retrieval (MIR). In the past, there have been several works that attempt to segment music into the audio and symbolic domains, however, the identification and…
Tag-based music retrieval is crucial to browse large-scale music libraries efficiently. Hence, automatic music tagging has been actively explored, mostly as a classification task, which has an inherent limitation: a fixed vocabulary. On the…
Symbolic music understanding, which refers to the understanding of music from the symbolic data (e.g., MIDI format, but not audio), covers many music applications such as genre classification, emotion classification, and music pieces…
