Decomposer: Learning to Decompile Symbolic Music to Programs 文章

arXiv:2607.01849v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Musical performance involves executing a set of high-level musical instructions, yet recovering those instructions from the performance is a challenging inverse problem. We present Decomposer, a post-training framework for symbolic music decompilation: the task of recovering executable, editable music programs from symbolic music. We instantiate the task as MIDI-to-Strudel decompilation, where the model takes symbolic MIDI as input and produces a program in Strudel, a music programming language, that reconstructs the input when executed. The task poses two challenges: Strudel is a low-resource language with little naturally paired MIDI-code data, and optimizing faithful reconstruction of MIDI alone can collapse to unreadable note-by-note transliteration. We address these challenges in two stages. First, we construct Strudel-Synth, a synthetic corpus of paired Strudel programs and rendered MIDI, and use it for supervised fine-tuning.
