About

What smt-grandstaff is

The SMT model fine-tuned on the Camera GrandStaff dataset for pianoform transcription. The code of the model is hosted in this repository.

Read the full model card

Model description

The SMT model consists of a vision encoder (ConvNext) and a text decoder (classic Transformer). Given an image of a music system, the encoder first encodes the image into a tensor of embeddings (of shape batch_size, seq_len, hidden_size), after which the decoder autoregressively generates text, conditioned on the encoding of the encoder.

Intended uses & limitations

This model is fine-tuned on the GrandStaff dataset, its use is limited to transcribe pianoform images only.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys smt-grandstaff for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (smt-grandstaff below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
