Multitrack music transformer
Read full publication. Published by Hao-Wen Dong, Ke Chen, Shlomo Dubnov, Julian McAuley, Taylor Berg-Kirkpatrick. Abstract: Existing approaches for generating multitrack music with transformer models have been limited in terms of the number of instruments, the length of the music segments and slow inference. This is partly due to the memory requirements of the lengthy […]
