UC-242 AC-10 AI & Music Processing

There is a broad range of styles and philosophies, for teaching young children how to play music. Some are based on repetition and memorization of songs, and others build up a foundation of musical patterns and motifs. Arguably, the latter style, will better develop the skills needed for improvisation and composition of new music. Inspired by this observation, we aim to improve the ability of (recurrent) neural networks to synthesize music based on a more careful training.
