| Guidelines |
| This work aims to review the current state of the art in statistical machine learning and apply it to music composition. The thesis should first briefly describe the general methods of statistical machine learning. Second, thesis should survey the existing methods applied in machine generated music. The current mainstream methods of statistical machine learning are widely implemented in Python, so the author of the thesis should get familiar with this programming language and the respective machine learning libraries, namely Scikit-Learn and Tensor Flow. In addition, Google Brain Team has recently released Magenta, a research project working with Tensor Flow aimed at machine learning applications for arts. Lastly, the work should train the computer to produce its own compositions based on a training data. The training music data are expected to be input as MIDI files from a selected set of existing music compositions. More specifically, one may focus on a small number of music composers in order to train the computer system to a more narrow data set, which can arguably lead to more pleasing outcomes. A possible set of training data can come from The Beatles songs or from a selected set of guitar solos, which are all well documented.
This thesis requires specific skills from the author, namely he/she should be both capable of working with data, but also should have a minimal understanding of music. |
