| # DAMN for Piano Music Continuation | |
| **DAMN (Delta-Absolute Modeling with Nested Transformers)** is a hierarchical autoregressive model for symbolic piano continuation, submitted to the **MIREX 2026 Symbolic Music Generation** task. | |
| The model uses a score-level Transformer to model dependencies across notes and a note-level Transformer to autoregressively predict delta-onset, pitch, and duration. | |
| ## Model | |
| - **Parameters:** 144M | |
| - **Score-level decoder:** 14 layers | |
| - **Note-level decoder:** 2 layers | |
| - **Hidden size:** 768 | |
| ## Inference | |
| Inference code and usage instructions are available in the submission repository: [`naivecynics/MIREX2026-DAMN`](https://github.com/naivecynics/MIREX2026-DAMN) | |
