Atomic structure analysis of crystalline materials is a paramount endeavor in both chemical and material sciences. This sophisticated technique necessitates not only a solid foundation in crystallography but also a profound comprehension of the intricacies of the accompanying software, posing a significant challenge in meeting the rigorous daily demands. For the first time, we confront this challenge head-on by harnessing the power of deep learning for ultra-precise structural analysis at the full-atom level. To validate the performance of the model, named CrystalX, we employed a vast dataset comprising over 50,000 X-ray diffraction measurements derived from authentic experiments, demonstrating performance that is commensurate with human experts and adept at deciphering intricate geometric patterns. Remarkably, CrystalX revealed that even peer-reviewed publications can harbor errors that are stealthy to human scrutiny, yet CrystalX adeptly rectifies them. This deep learning model revolutionizes the time frame for crystal structure analysis, slashing it down to seconds. It has already been successfully applied in the structure analysis of newly discovered compounds in the latest research without human intervention. Overall, CrystalX marks the beginning of a new era in automating routine structural analysis within self-driving laboratories.

In this work, we propose a symbolic music generation model with the song structure graph analysis network. We construct a graph that uses information such as note sequence and instrument as node features, while the correlation between note sequences acts as the edge feature. We trained a Graph Neural Network to obtain node representation in the graph, then we use node representation as input of Unet to generate CONLON pianoroll image latent. The outcomes of our experimental results show that the proposed model can generate a comprehensive form of music. Our approach represents a promising and innovative method for symbolic music generation and holds potential applications in various fields in Music Information Retreival, including music composition, music classification, and music inpainting systems.

We propose a novel method to model hierarchical metrical structures for both symbolic music and audio signals in a self-supervised manner with minimal domain knowledge. The model trains and inferences on beat-aligned music signals and predicts an 8-layer hierarchical metrical tree from beat, measure to the section level. The training procedure does not require any hierarchical metrical labeling except for beats, purely relying on the nature of metrical regularity and inter-voice consistency as inductive biases. We show in experiments that the method achieves comparable performance with supervised baselines on multiple metrical structure analysis tasks on both symbolic music and audio signals. All demos, source code and pre-trained models are publicly available on GitHub.

Music contains hierarchical structures beyond beats and measures. While hierarchical structure annotations are helpful for music information retrieval and computer musicology, such annotations are scarce in current digital music databases. In this paper, we explore a data-driven approach to automatically extract hierarchical metrical structures from scores. We propose a new model with a Temporal Convolutional Network-Conditional Random Field (TCN-CRF) architecture. Given a symbolic music score, our model takes in an arbitrary number of voices in a beat-quantized form, and predicts a 4-level hierarchical metrical structure from downbeat-level to section-level. We also annotate a dataset using RWC-POP MIDI files to facilitate training and evaluation. We show by experiments that the proposed method performs better than the rule-based approach under different orchestration settings. We also perform some simple musicological analysis on the model predictions. All demos, datasets and pre-trained models are publicly available on Github.

This paper presents a novel supervised approach to detecting the chorus segments in popular music. Traditional approaches to this task are mostly unsupervised, with pipelines designed to target some quality that is assumed to define "chorusness," which usually means seeking the loudest or most frequently repeated sections. We propose to use a convolutional neural network with a multi-task learning objective, which simultaneously fits two temporal activation curves: one indicating "chorusness" as a function of time, and the other the location of the boundaries. We also propose a post-processing method that jointly takes into account the chorus and boundary predictions to produce binary output. In experiments using three datasets, we compare our system to a set of public implementations of other segmentation and chorus-detection algorithms, and find our approach performs significantly better.

AN AUGMENTED STATE TRANSITION NETWORK ANALYSIS PROCEDURE Daniel G. Bobrow Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Inc. Cambridge, Massachusetts Bruce Eraser Language Research Foundation Cambridge, Massachusetts Summary A syntactic analysis procedure is described which obtains directly the deep structure information associated with an input sentence. The implementation utilizes a state transition network characterizing those linguistic facts representable in a context free form, and a number of techniques to code and derive additional linguistic information and to permit the compression of the network size, thereby allowing more efficient operation of the system. By recognizing identical constituent predictions stemming from two different analysis paths, the system determines the structure of this constituent only once. When two alternative paths through the state transition network converge to a single state at some point In the analysis, subsequent analyses are carried out only once despite the ...
