无需乐谱真值,自动分组钢琴演奏数据中的结构差异。
Score-Agnostic Structure Analysis in Large-Scale Performance Datasets

- 用序列对齐与聚类分析演奏版本的结构差异。
- 在88首曲目1500个演奏中识别出结构一致性分组。
- 适合无真值标注的大规模音乐性能研究者使用。
近年来,自动钢琴记谱技术的发展催生了多个大规模自动转录的钢琴独奏数据集。尽管这些数据集为表演研究提供了丰富素材,但其质量差异显著。在古典音乐中,演奏不仅在速度等表现性方面存在差异,还可能因乐谱重复模式或版本差异而产生结构性解读的不同。为有效利用这些转录数据进行表演研究,需将同一作品的转录按其底层结构实现分组,以支持合理比较。本文提出一种无需乐谱真值的方法:对同一作品的所有转录进行成对序列对齐,利用对齐代价及演奏序列长度的相似性作为特征,通过层次聚类识别结构不一致。该方法可作为评估缺乏真值乐谱和音频的大规模转录数据集的第一步,将评价标准从准确性转向音乐连贯性与合理性。我们在一个新发布的大型转录钢琴演奏数据集上,对约1500个来自88首作品的演奏进行了验证。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In recent years, thanks to advances in automatic music transcription (AMT), several large-scale datasets of automatically transcribed piano solo music have been released. While these datasets undoubtedly offer extensive material for performance studies, they vary substantially in quality. In the case of classical music, performances often differ not only in expressive aspects such as tempo, but also in their structural interpretation of the score (including repeat patterns and edition-specific variants). To meaningfully use large-scale transcribed datasets for performance research, transcriptions of the same piece must be grouped according to their underlying structural realisation to support valid comparison. We address this by applying sequence-to-sequence alignment followed by hierarchical clustering: we create pairwise alignments for all pairs of transcriptions of a given piece, and use the alignment cost and (dis)similarity of performed sequence lengths to resolve structural mismatches as features for grouping. We propose this approach as a first step towards automatically evaluating large-scale transcribed datasets that lack ground-truth score and/or audio, shifting the evaluation criterion from truth-based accuracy to musical coherence and plausibility. We demonstrate our score-agnostic approach on around 1,500 transcriptions of 88 compositions from a recently published large-scale transcribed piano performance dataset.
