Automatic Guitar Transcription Of Polyphonic Music, Ritwik Patil
Automatic Guitar Transcription Of Polyphonic Music, Ritwik Patil
Master's Theses
Transcribing guitar music automatically is a complex task due to polyphonic overlap, tuning variations, and diverse playing techniques. Current transcription systems focus on identifying note pitches and timing while ignoring performance techniques that describe how the notes are played, treating guitar recordings as generic polyphonic audio and producing MIDI-like outputs that lose important information about articulation and style. To address these challenges, we propose an end-to-end transformer model for automatic guitar transcription. The system uses a T5-based encoder-decoder architecture that processes the Constant-Q Transform (CQT) of stereo audio input. The stereo representation helps separate individual guitar parts within a mix …

Objective Surface multistage hydraulic fracturing of hard roofs using horizontal wells serves as an important technique for rock burst control in mines. However, fracturing technique under improper control might pose adverse impacts on excavated mining roadways underground, causing roadway deformation, mesh failure with block falling, and the flow of fracturing fluids into the roadways. Methods This study investigated certain mining face of the Zhaoxian Coal Mine in the Yonglong mining area, Shaanxi Province. Targeting different characteristics and phenomena of roadways following hydraulic fracturing, this study analyzed the reasons why fracturing fluids flowed into roadways during hydraulic fracturing using theoretical analysis, …

Objective The period during the deposition of the Middle-Late Ordovician Kelimoli-Lashizhong formations witnessed a key transition of the tectonic framework along the western margin of the Ordos Basin. Investigating the lithofacies paleogeography of these formations can reveal the tectono-sedimentary responses during this period, thereby providing a basis for the resource potential prediction, exploration, and exploitation of natural gas in the study area. Methods Using field section observations, core observations, and log interpretations, as well as previous research results, this study comprehensively analyzed the Middle-Late Ordovician strata in the Ordos Basin from the perspectives of stratigraphy, sedimentary system division, and sedimentary …
