The ethical and artistic debates aside, there are good reasons for research into artificial-intelligence systems that can generate music. A new system described in the International Journal of Arts and Technology has improved on the quality and coherence of low-cost computer-generated music for use in music therapy and mental-health support.
The new approach combines two influential machine-learning approaches, long short-term memory networks, or LSTMs, and a multi-scale attention mechanism. This allows the system to overcome the shortcomings of previous algorithmic composition methods, side-stepping erratic structure, avoiding repetitive melodies, and extending emotional range.
LSTMs are a class of recurrent neural networks designed to preserve information over long sequences, making them well suited to modeling time-based data such as music. In the...
