My six-year-old told me: "ask ChatGPT." I thought I had to do something. 10 months later: a robot in the living room, a brain in a box, and a 60-page honest account. What worked, what broke, what I got wrong. No episodes. Read it or don't. medium.com/@michaelturbot/my…

I sent ChatGPT an audio file of a series of FART sound effects and asked what it thinks of "my music" and this is what it said

Eminem sampled Aerosmith, 50 Cent sampled Nina Simone, everybody sampled Chic... Many great songs sampled existing ones! Detecting this is the topic of our latest paper with @serrjoa at @SonyAI Barcelona 😎 tl;dr: multi-track dataset + few tricks = +18% boost over SOTA 🚀 1/N

🥳 New publication announcement! Marco Pasini solved the problem of error accumulation in continuous autoregressive models (CAMs), making it possible to generate sequences without the need for prior tokenization. Say goodbye to RVQ codecs (use music2latent 😉). @SonyCSLMusic
✨ Train language models directly on continuous data - without tokenization ✨ We propose an easy way to train GPT-style autoregressive models on continuous data, without error accumulation. We test it on audio 🔊, but this method can easily work with other modalities 🎆 👇🧵

😯Surprisal in music is an often underestimated concept. It's not only valuable for music analysis but can also be leveraged to control complexity and structure in music generation. Check out our @ISMIRConf paper, where we use Information Content curves as a control signal for polyphonic music generation: 📜arxiv.org/pdf/2408.06022 Great work by @BjareMathias !🤓 @SonyCSLMusic @cpjku @SonyCSLParis
