We introduce anticipation: a method for constructing a controllable generative model of a temporal point process (the event process) conditioned asynchronously on realizations of a second, correlated process (the control process). We achieve this by interleaving sequences of events and controls, such that controls appear following stopping times in the event sequence. This work is motivated by problems arising in the control of symbolic music generation. We focus on infilling control tasks, whereby the controls are a subset of the events themselves, and conditional generation completes a sequence of events given the fixed control events. We train anticipatory infilling models using the large and diverse Lakh MIDI music dataset. These models match the performance of autoregressive models for prompted music generation, with the additional capability to perform infilling control tasks, including accompaniment. Human evaluators report that an anticipatory model produces accompaniments with similar musicality to even music composed by humans over a 20-second clip.

  1. A Reproducible, Scalable Pipeline for Synthesizing Autoregressive Model Literature

    cs.IR 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A scalable literature-synthesis pipeline that retrieves, filters, extracts, summarizes, and converts AR-model papers into runnable training scripts, with F1 > 0.85 extraction and three reproduction case studies.

  2. Scaling Self-Supervised Representation Learning for Symbolic Piano Performance

    cs.SD 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Self-supervised pretraining on 60,000 hours of symbolic piano music produces a generative model and contrastive embeddings that beat leading baselines on continuation quality and several MIR classification benchmarks.

  3. AI Harmonizer: Expanding Vocal Expression with a Generative Neurosymbolic Music AI System

    cs.HC 2025-06 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new offline system automatically adds three harmonized vocal parts to a solo melody using trained music AI models, but its claimed musical quality is not empirically evaluated.

  4. TinyMusician: On-Device Music Generation with Knowledge Distillation and Mixed Precision Quantization

    cs.SD 2025-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    TinyMusician distills MusicGen and applies hand-picked mixed-precision quantization to make a 1.04 GB on-device music generator, but the headline '93% quality, 55% smaller' claims conflict with the paper's own tables.
