Improving Phrase Segmentation in Symbolic Folk Music: A Hybrid Model with Local Context and Global Structure Awareness by Xin Guan, Zhilin Dong, Hui Liu, Qiang Li

“…Traditional Transformer models use static embeddings, limiting their adaptability to different musical styles, structures, and melodic evolutions. Moreover, multi-head self-attention struggles with local context modeling, causing the loss of short-term information (e.g., pitch variation, melodic integrity, and rhythm stability), which may result in over-segmentation or merging errors. …”
