Semi-supervised Neural Chord Estimation Based On A Variational Autoencoder With Latent Chord Labels And Features

Abstract

This paper describes a statistically-principled semi-supervised method of automatic chord estimation (ACE) that can make effective use of music signals regardless of the availability of chord annotations. The typical approach to ACE is to train a deep classification model (neural chord estimator) in a supervised manner by using only annotated music signals. In this discriminative approach, prior knowledge about chord label sequences (model output) has scarcely been taken into account. In contrast, we propose a unified generative and discriminative approach in the framework of amortized variational inference. More specifically, we formulate a deep generative model that represents the generative process of chroma vectors (observed variables) from discrete labels and continuous features (latent variables), which are assumed to follow a Markov model favoring self-transitions and a standard Gaussian distribution, respectively. Given chroma vectors as observed data, the posterior distributio
