This paper presents an attempt to employ the mask language modeling approach of BERT
to pre-train a 12-layer Transformer model over 4,166 pieces of polyphonic piano MIDI files …

Structure is one of the most essential aspects of music, and music structure is commonly
indicated through repetition. However, the nature of repetition and structure in music is still …

In this paper, we present a novel state-of-the-art system for automatic downbeat tracking
from music signals. The audio signal is first segmented in frames which are synchronized at …

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 …

This paper presents a probabilistic formulation of music language modelling based on the
generative theory of tonal music (GTTM) named probabilistic GTTM (PGTTM). GTTM is a …

Modeling the structure of musical pieces constitutes a central research problem for music
information retrieval, music generation, and musicology. At the present, models of harmonic …

This paper describes a data-driven framework to parse musical sequences into dependency
trees, which are hierarchical structures used in music cognition research and music …

This paper presents an automatic harmonization method that, for a given melody (sequence
of musical notes), generates a sequence of chord symbols in the style of existing data. A …

This paper describes an analyzer that simultaneously learns grouping and metrical
structures on the basis of the generative theory of tonal music (GTTM) by using a deep …

Grammatical models which represent the hierarchical structure of chord sequences have
proven very useful in recent analyses of Jazz harmony. A critical resource for building and …
