DuET Transformer model enhances piano performance-to-score transcription

Researchers have developed DuET, a novel Dual-Encoder Transformer model designed for transcribing piano performances into musical scores. This model jointly learns note-level transcription and frame-level beat tracking by using bidirectional cross-attention between note and frame encoders. DuET also introduces TimeRoPE and Time-Pitch Rotary Positional Encoding to establish a shared performance-time reference and encode temporal and pitch relationships. Evaluations on the ASAP and Gangqinpu datasets show DuET improves score timing and notated duration, significantly reducing the MUSTER mean error on the Gangqinpu dataset. AI

IMPACT This research advances AI's capabilities in music information retrieval and symbolic music generation.

    DuET: Note-Frame Dual Encoding for Piano Performance-to-Score Transcription

    arXiv:2610.21467v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transcribing expressive piano performances into scores requires interpreting individual note timings within an underlying metrical structure. However, score attributes are associated with notes, whereas beats may occur without coi…
