TinyMusician: On-Device Music Generation with Knowledge Distillation and Mixed Precision Quantization
The success of the generative model has gained unprecedented attention in the music generation area. Transformer-based architectures have set new benchmarks for model performance. However, their practical adoption is hindered by some critical challenges: the demand for massive computational resources and inference time, due to their large number of parameters. These obstacles make them infeasible to deploy on edge devices, such as smartphones and wearables, with limited computational resources.…

Now that I’m almost certainly past the half-way point of my life, I’ve realized that many things I used to care about matter little to me. Tech is getting worse in most ways, few new movies interest me, most online spaces are not enjoyable to me. What I am bummed about not getting to experience,though, is meeting new, wonderful generations - and especially not getting to hear their music. Because some of the new bands out there are just *wild*, and I love it so, so much.

To address these challenges, we propose HNote, a novel hexadecimal-based notation system extended from YNote, which encodes both pitch and duration within a fixed 32-unit measure framework.
