A new paper explores how to fine-tune a music generation model for a new genre without losing proficiency in the original. Researchers studied a 25M-parameter Music Transformer, initially trained on pop music, and fine-tuned it on a smaller jazz dataset. They found that mixing in approximately 2.5K samples of the original pop data helped the model retain its pop accuracy while gaining significant jazz capabilities. AI
