Natooz/Maestro-REMI-bpe20k

Model card

This is a generative model from the paper "Byte Pair Encoding for Symbolic Music" (EMNLP 2023). The model has been trained with Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) on the Maestro dataset to generate classical piano music with the REMI tokenizer.

Uses

The model is designed for autoregressive music generation. It generates the continuation of a music prompt.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model. You will need the miditok (>=v2.1.7), transformers and torch packages to make it run, that can be installed with pip.

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
from miditok import REMI
from symusic import Score

torch.set_default_device("cuda")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Natooz/Maestro-REMI-bpe20k", trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype="auto")
tokenizer = REMI.from_pretrained("Natooz/Maestro-REMI-bpe20k")
input_midi = Score("path/to/file.mid")
input_tokens = tokenizer(input_midi)

generated_token_ids = model.generate(input_tokens.ids, max_length=500)
generated_midi = tokenizer(generated_token_ids)
generated_midi.dump_midi("path/to/continued.mid")

Training Details

Training Data

The model has been trained on the Maestro dataset. The dataset contains about 200 hours of classical piano music. The tokenizer is trained with Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) to build a vocabulary of 20k tokens.

Training Procedure

• Training regime: fp16 mixed precision on V100 PCIE 32GB GPUs
• Compute Region: France

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:

• learning_rate: 0.0001
• train_batch_size: 64
• eval_batch_size: 96
• seed: 444
• optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
• lr_scheduler_type: cosine_with_restarts
• lr_scheduler_warmup_ratio: 0.3
• training_steps: 100000

Environmental impact

We cannot estimate reliably the amount of CO2eq emitted, as we lack data on the exact power source used during training. However, we can highlight that the cluster used is mostly powered by nuclear energy, which is a low carbon energy source ensuring a reduced direct environmental impact.
