Multitask Learning for Polyphonic Piano Transcription, a Case Study (1902.04390v1)

Abstract: Viewing polyphonic piano transcription as a multitask learning problem, where we need to simultaneously predict onsets, intermediate frames and offsets of notes, we investigate the performance impact of additional prediction targets, using a variety of suitable convolutional neural network architectures. We quantify performance differences of additional objectives on the large MAESTRO dataset.
