As far as I know, there still isn’t a tool that can reliably produce usable transcriptions out of the box, although the results for solo piano can be reasonably good. A lack of high-quality labeled training data, especially for instruments other than piano, is probably part of the reason. But the problem is also more complicated than it might initially seem: you have to handle polyphony, overlapping harmonics, timing and articulation. And in the case of guitar tabs, it's even more complicated as one needs to determine what tuning is used (if not standard), which string and fret produced each note. Or separately rearrange the tab.

I suppose you probably were visiting some university districts/CBDs where people likely to have received higher education. Elsewhere, aside from basic "hello"/"how are you", locals in general are not able to communicate in English.

Could you explain the pseudo code in your equations page? Is the second approxMul call a typo (also the capitalized V)?

def precompute(W): W = W.T probes = get_probes(W) W_idx, W_val = sortMatrixRows(W)

def approxMul(v, W_idx, W_val, probes): cutoff_chart = v * probes cutoff = topK(cutoff_chart, effort) approxMul(V, W_idx, W_val, cutoff)
