Musicldm: Enhancing novelty in text-to-music generation using beat-synchronous mixup strategies

Read full publication. Published by Ke Chen, Yusong Wu, Haohe Liu, Marianna Nezhurina, Taylor Berg-Kirkpatrick, Shlomo Dubnov. Abstract: Diffusion models have shown promising results in cross-modal generation tasks, including text-to-image and text-to-audio generation. However, generating music, as a special type of audio, presents unique challenges due to limited availability of music data and sensitive issues […]

Maths & Musique #3 : Musique, combinatoire des mots et improvisation par ordinateur, par Marc Chemillier

Lire la publication originale. Par Marc Chemillier, Directeur d’études de l’EHESS La musique entretient depuis toujours des liens étroits avec les mathématiques. Les pythagoriciens à partir du Ve siècle avant J.-C. commencent à s’intéresser aux rapports entre la musique et les nombres. Beaucoup plus proche de nous, Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) jette les bases de l’analyse harmonique […]
