End-to-End Historical Music Restoration in Latent Space

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.00607v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Historical music restoration (HMR) has almost exclusively focused on constrained problems such as Super-Resolution or the restoration of solo pieces, under-exploring the general task of restoring orchestral historical music, which has multiple instruments. This under-exploration is largely because the HMR domain, early-20th-century recordings, has no pre-degradation ground-truth pairs, making the restoration task unsupervised and more challenging. This paper presents a supervised end-to-end orchestral HMR benchmark by exploring both the synthetic degradation functions and the end-to-end generative deep-learning restoration methods. We simulate the historical recording degradation chain more faithfully than prior work, which makes orchestral
