This monograph addresses the "Missing Middle" problem in AI music generation - the challenge of producing coherent, phrase-level musical structure. Using Beethoven's piano sonatas as a case study, I introduce the Smart Embedding architecture, a factorized representation grounded in the empirically verified independence of pitch and hand attributes (NMI=0.167). The architecture achieves a 48.3% reduction in embedding parameters while improving validation loss by 9.47%. Theoretically, I establish formal guarantees through information theory, Rademacher complexity analysis (yielding a 28.09% tighter generalization bound), and category-theoretic interpretation. These results are further supported by Singular Value Decomposition analysis and a blind expert listening study (N=53). Collectively, this work presents a dual contribution that combines architectural innovation with mathematical rigor, offering a principled framework for building more efficient, stable, and interpretable generative models for complex sequential data.
翻译:本专著探讨了AI音乐生成中的"中间缺失"问题——即生成连贯乐句级音乐结构的挑战。以贝多芬钢琴奏鸣曲为案例,我提出了Smart Embedding架构,这是一种基于音高与手部属性经验证独立的因子化表示(标准化互信息NMI=0.167)。该架构在嵌入参数减少48.3%的同时,验证损失改善了9.47%。在理论层面,我通过信息论、Rademacher复杂度分析(得到28.09%更紧的泛化界)和范畴论解释建立了形式化保证。这些结果进一步得到奇异值分解分析与盲专家听测实验(N=53)的支持。总体而言,本工作呈现了双重贡献,将架构创新与数学严谨性相结合,为构建更高效、稳定且可解释的复杂序列数据生成模型提供了原则性框架。
