Profy: Interpretable Visualization of Expertise-Dependent Motor Skills Toward Supporting Piano Practice
arXiv:2606.10627v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The quality of piano performance depends on nuanced timing, articulation, and dynamic control, but practice feedback is often summary-based and hard to act on. We introduce Profy, a weakly supervised system that learns from take-level labels derived from aggregated listener ratings (expert-labeled vs. amateur-labeled) to produce time-aligned highlights for review during piano practice. We collected synchronized 1 kHz key-motion and audio from 73 pianists and used 1,083 valid takes for modeling and evaluation. The model outputs clip-level predic
The proliferation of advanced AI techniques and accessible sensor technology is enabling new applications in personalized skill development.
This development signifies AI's growing capability to provide highly nuanced and actionable feedback in domains traditionally dependent on human expertise, potentially democratizing access to high-quality training.
Personalized skill training, particularly in complex motor skills, can now leverage AI for real-time, objective, and expertise-dependent feedback, reducing reliance on human instructors for foundational learning.

AI-powered personalized coaches become standard in skill acquisition across various domains beyond music.
The cost and accessibility of high-quality skill learning decrease significantly, leading to a broader participation in complex hobbies and professions.
AI systems gain a deeper understanding of human motor control and expertise, informing the development of more dexterous robots or more intuitive human-computer interfaces.
