Statistical machine learning with applications in music
Janásková, Eliška ; Večeř, Jan (advisor) ; Hlávka, Zdeněk (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to train a computer on Beatles' songs using the re- search project Magenta from the Google Brain Team to produce its own music, to derive backpropagation formulas for recurrent neural networks with LSTM cells used in the Magenta music composing model, to overview machine learning techniques and discuss its similarities with methods of mathematical statistics. In order to explore the qualities of the artificially composed music more thor- oughly, we restrict ourselves to monophonic melodies only. We train three deep learning models with three different configurations (Basic, Lookback, and At- tention) and compare generated results. Even though the artificially composed music is not as interesting as the original Beatles, it is quite likeable. According to our analysis based on musically informed metrics, artificial melodies differ from the original ones especially in lengths of notes and in pitch differences be- tween consecutive notes. The artificially composed melodies tend to use shorter notes and higher pitch differences. 1
Statistical machine learning with applications in music
Janásková, Eliška ; Večeř, Jan (advisor) ; Hlávka, Zdeněk (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to review the current state of machine learning in music composition and to train a computer on Beatles' songs using research project Magenta from the Google Brain Team to produce its own music. In order to explore the qualities of the generated music more thoroughly, we restrict our- selves to monophonic melodies only. We train three deep learning models with three different configurations (Basic, Lookback, and Attention) and compare generated results. Even though the generated music is not as interesting as the original Beatles, it is quite likable. According to our analysis based on musically informed metrics, generated melodies differ from the original ones especially in lengths of notes and in pitch differences between consecutive notes. Generated melodies tend to use shorter notes and higher pitch differences. In theoretical background, we cover the most commonly used machine learning algorithms, introduce neural networks and review related work of music generation. 1
