Both encoders have 632M parameters. MERT2-30s uses a 30-second training context; MERT2-FS uses 300 seconds. These are full-context representation benchmarks. MERT2 reports the best observed results across representations selected using test scores; each ROC-AUC / AP pair uses the same representation. Six transcription tasks, one model SheetSage2 achieves SOTA on 10 of 13 benchmark metrics with one model for beat, downbeat, key, chord, structure, and melody transcription. - SOTA metricsOne model · six transcription tasks - 10 / 13 - Vocal melody · RWC-PopPitch-class note F1 · score × 100 - 82.51 - Chord recognition · osu2017Maj/min · score × 100 - 90.08 Explore SheetSage2 benchmark scores 6 tasks · 13 metrics | Benchmark / task | Metric | Best comparison | SheetSage2 | |---|---|---|---| | GTZANBeat | F1 | 88.75Beat This! | 85.65 | | osu2017Beat | F1 | 91.55Madmom | 92.29 | | GTZANDownbeat | F1 | 78.28Beat This! | 79.51 | | osu2017Downbeat | F1 | 84.99Beat This! | 91.97 | | GiantStepsKey | Weighted score | 74.62Madmom | 77.73 | | GTZANKey | Weighted score | 74.43S-KEY | 75.77 | | osu2017Chord | Maj/min | 84.59Jiang et al. 2019 | 90.08 | | Chords1217Chord | Maj/min | 84.09ChordFormer | 83.81 | | HarmonixSetStructure | Accuracy | 80.03SongFormer | 80.51 | | HarmonixSetStructure | Boundary F1 · 0.5 s | 70.63SongFormer | 67.96 | | HarmonixSetStructure | Boundary F1 · 3 s | 79.50SongFormer | 82.86 | | RWC-PopMelody | Vocal pitch-class F1 | 62.71SheetSage1 | 82.51 | | RWC-PopMelody | Full pitch-class F1 | 64.02SheetSage1 | 75.29 | SOTA counts refer to the leading scores against SheetSage1, Madmom, and the task-specific systems in this comparison.
