muzic

Muzic is a research project on AI music that empowers music understanding and generation with deep learning and artificial intelligence. Muzic is pronounced as [ˈmjuːzeik]. Besides the logo in image version (see above), Muzic also has a logo in video version (you can click here to watch ). Muzic was started by some researchers from Microsoft Research Asia and also contributed by outside collaborators.

We summarize the scope of our Muzic project in the following figure:

The current work in Muzic includes:

• Music Understanding

  • Symbolic Music Understanding: MusicBERT
  • Automatic Lyrics Transcription: PDAugment
  • Contrastive Language-Music Pre-training: CLaMP

• Music Generation

  • Song Writing
    • Lyric-to-Melody and Melody-to-Lyric: SongMASS
    • Lyric Generation: DeepRapper
    • Lyric-to-Melody Generation: TeleMelody, ReLyMe, Re-creation of Creations (ROC)
  • Music Form/Structure Generation
    • Music Form Generation: MeloForm
    • Long/Short Structure Modeling: Museformer
  • Multi-Track Generation
    • Accompaniment Generation: PopMAG
    • Any Track Music Generation: GETMusic
  • Text-to-Music Generation: MuseCoco
  • Singing Voice Synthesis: HiFiSinger

• AI Agent

  • MusicAgent

  You can find some music samples generated by our systems on this page: https://ai-muzic.github.io/.
  For more speech related research, you can find from this page: https://speechresearch.github.io/ and https://github.com/microsoft/NeuralSpeech.

We are hiring!

We are hiring both research FTEs and research interns on Speech/Audio/Music/Video and LLMs. Please get in touch with Xu Tan ([email protected]) if you are interested.

What is New?

• CLaMP has won the Best Student Paper Award at ISMIR 2023!
• We release MusicAgent, an AI agent for versatile music processing using large language models.
• We release MuseCoco, a music composition copilot to generate symbolic music from text.
• We release GETMusic, a versatile music copliot with a universal representation and diffusion framework to generate any music tracks.
• We release the first model for cross-modal symbolic MIR: CLaMP.
• We release two new research work on music structure modeling: MeloForm and Museformer.
• We give a tutorial on AI Music Composition at ACM Multimedia 2021.

Requirements

The operating system is Linux. We test on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS, CUDA 10, with Python 3.6.12. The requirements for running Muzic are listed in requirements.txt. To install the requirements, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

We release the code of several research work: MusicBERT, PDAugment, CLaMP, DeepRapper, SongMASS, TeleMelody, ReLyMe, Re-creation of Creations (ROC), MeloForm, Museformer, GETMusic, MuseCoco, and MusicAgent. You can find the README in the corresponding folder for detailed instructions on how to use.
