Discriptions

This reporsitory is for rhythm-BERT, which is motivated by 'music is a kind of language'.

File Organizations

Folder colab_pruned is a medley of experiments.

• colab_pruned\data_folder saves preprocessed data, including rhythm and chord dictionaries, Nottingham Dataset data in our formats. (Feel free to use pickle to read them, and you will get lists)
• colab_pruned\model_VQ_EC2_BERT is the model in my paper Word Representation for Rhythms. Feel free to run the updated notebook! (Remember to change paths!)
• colab_pruned\Nottingham_database_preprocessing.ipynb and colab_pruned\data_loader_lib_trial.ipynb are demos for using my data loader libs. You can get data in colab_pruned\data_folder by running those two files.
• colab_pruned\model_seq2seq_baseline, colab_pruned\model_seq2seq_attention, colab_pruned\model_transformer and colab_pruned\pitch_encoder_decoder are my primitive trials. I just save them here for reference.

Folder lib:

• lib\data_loader is for Nottingham Dataset preprocessing. It works, but it is still under maintain, because there are still a few bugs which do not matter greatly.
• lib\models and lib\utils are segments of BERT notebook. Just for reading. Of course, you can import them for further use.

This is for logging the research progressions of rhythm word embedding

commits on June 28, 2020

• folder models: pitch encoder-decoder lib

commits on July 7, 2020

• Folder orgnization changed! lib is a medley of modules, configs and toolkits; colab_pruned is a medley of previous experiments and implementations of lib.
• If you want to know rhythm words, please refer to '\colab_pruned\data_loader_lib_trial.ipynb' and '\colab_pruned\Nottingham_database_preprocessing.ipynb'
• If you want to know rhythm BERT, please refer to '\colab_pruned\model_VQ_EC2_BERT'
• If you want to implement codes yourself, please remember to change paths and configs yourself!
