MedleyDB: A Multitrack Dataset for Annotation-Intensive MIR Research
TLDR
The dataset MedleyDB, a dataset of annotated, royaltyfree multitrack recordings, is shown to be considerably more challenging than the current test sets used in the MIREX evaluation campaign, thus opening new research avenues in melody extraction research.
PYIN: A fundamental frequency estimator using probabilistic threshold distributions
TLDR
The Probabilistic YIN (PYIN) algorithm is proposed, a modification of the well-known YIN algorithm for fundamental frequency (F0) estimation that is modified to output multiple pitch candidates with associated probabilities from a prior distribution on the YIN threshold parameter.

Approximate Note Transcription for the Improved Identification of Difficult Chords
TLDR
This paper seeks to find chroma features that are more suitable for usage in a musically-motivated model by performing a prior approximate transcription using an existing technique to solve non-negative least squares problems (NNLS).
Computer-aided Melody Note Transcription Using the Tony Software: Accuracy and Efficiency
TLDR
Tony, a software tool for the interactive annotation of melodies from monophonic audio recordings, is presented, and it is shown that Tony’s built in automatic note transcription method compares favourably with existing tools.
Automatic chord transcription from audio using computational models of musical context
TLDR
A novel dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) is presented which integrates models of metric position, key, chord, bass note and two beat-synchronous audio features into a single high-level musical context model.

Simultaneous Estimation of Chords and Musical Context From Audio
TLDR
This work devise a fully automatic method to simultaneously estimate from an audio waveform the chord sequence including bass notes, the metric positions of chords, and the key, and introduces a measure of segmentation quality and shows that bass and meter modeling are especially beneficial for obtaining the correct level of granularity.

The Audio Degradation Toolbox and Its Application to Robustness Evaluation
TLDR
It is demonstrated that specific degradations can reduce or even reverse the performance difference between two competing methods, and it is shown that performance strongly depends on the combination of method and degradation applied.

Using Musical Structure to Enhance Automatic Chord Transcription
TLDR
The present work shows that additional exploitation of the repetitive structure of songs can enhance chord extraction, by combining chroma information from multiple occurrences of the same segment type.
An Attack/Decay Model for Piano Transcription
We demonstrate that piano transcription performance for a known piano can be improved by explicitly modelling piano acoustical features. The proposed method is based on non-negative matrix…

The evolution of popular music: USA 1960–2010
TLDR
It is shown that, although pop music has evolved continuously, it did so with particular rapidity during three stylistic ‘revolutions’ around 1964, 1983 and 1991.
