Query: A Perceptual Measure for Evaluating the Resynthesis of Automatic Music
  Transcriptions   This study focuses on the perception of music performances when contextual
factors, such as room acoustics and instrument, change. We propose to
distinguish the concept of "performance" from the one of "interpretation",
which expresses the "artistic intention". Towards assessing this distinction,
we carried out an experimental evaluation where 91 subjects were invited to
listen to various audio recordings created by resynthesizing MIDI data obtained
through Automatic Music Transcription (AMT) systems and a sensorized acoustic
piano. During the resynthesis, we simulated different contexts and asked
listeners to evaluate how much the interpretation changes when the context
changes. Results show that: (1) MIDI format alone is not able to completely
grasp the artistic intention of a music performance; (2) usual objective
evaluation measures based on MIDI data present low correlations with the
average subjective evaluation. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel measure
which is meaningfully correlated with the outcome of the tests. In addition, we
investigate multimodal machine learning by providing a new score-informed AMT
method and propose an approximation algorithm for the $p$-dispersion problem.
