Composing Bach Chorales Using Deep Learning • Feynman Liang • GOTO 2017

This presentation was recorded at GOTO Amsterdam 2017. #GOTOcon #GOTOams http://gotoams.nl Feynman Liang - Engineering Manager at Gigster @feynmanl ABSTRACT Can musical creativity, something believed to be deeply human, be codified into an algorithm? While most music theorists are hesitant to claim a "correct" algorithm for composing music like Bach, recent advances in machine learning and computational musicology may help us reach [...] TIMECODES 0:00 Introduction 2:12 Executive summary 3:08 Goals of the work 4:41 Overview 5:46 If you're a hands-on type 12:11 Handling polyphony 13:24 Serialize in SATB order 20:51 Sequential prediction training criteria 21:40 Model formulation 26:58 The final model 29:58 Automatic composition 31:02 Harmonization 35:07 Model learns music theory! 41:48 Conclusion Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotoams.nl/2017/sessions/93 https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.instagram.com/goto_con https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #DataScience #DeepLearning #AI #ML Looking for a unique learning experience?
