Muzic is a research project on AI music that empowers music understanding and generation with deep learning and artificial intelligence. Muzic is pronounced as [ˈmjuːzeik] and '谬贼客' (in Chinese). Besides the logo in image version (see above), Muzic also has a logo in video version (you can click here to watch ). Muzic was started by some researchers from Microsoft Research Asia and also contributed by outside collaborators.

We summarize the scope of our Muzic project in the following figure:

The current work in Muzic include:

• Music Understanding

  • Symbolic Music Understanding: MusicBERT
  • Automatic Lyrics Transcription: PDAugment
  • Contrastive Language-Music Pre-training: CLaMP

• Music Generation

  • Song Writing: SongMASS
  • Lyric Generation: DeepRapper
  • Lyric-to-Melody Generation: TeleMelody, ReLyMe, Re-creation of Creations (ROC)
  • Melody Generation: MeloForm, Museformer
  • Accompaniment Generation: PopMAG
  • Singing Voice Synthesis: HiFiSinger

  You can find some music samples generated by our systems from this page: https://ai-muzic.github.io/.
  For more speech related research, you can find from this page: https://github.com/microsoft/NeuralSpeech and https://speechresearch.github.io/.

We are hiring!

We are hiring both research FTEs and research interns on AI music, speech, audio, language, and machine learning. Please contact Xu Tan (xuta@microsoft.com) if you have interests.

What is New!

• We release the first model for cross-modal symbolic MIR: CLaMP.
• We release two new research work on music structure modeling: MeloForm and Museformer.
• We give a tutorial on AI Music Composition at ACM Multimedia 2021.

Requirements

The operating system is Linux. We test on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS, CUDA 10, with Python 3.6.12. The requirements for running Muzic are listed in requirements.txt. To install the requirements, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

We release the code of several research work: MusicBERT, PDAugment, DeepRapper, SongMASS, TeleMelody, ReLyMe, Re-creation of Creations (ROC), MeloForm, and Museformer. You can find the README in the corresponding folder for detailed instructions on how to use.
