AI DJ Project#2 Ubiquitous Rhythm -- Improvised Jam Sessions with Real-time Music Generation AI

#artificialintelligence

AI continuously generates two-bar rhythm patterns and corresponding basslines within this performance. Another AI model also keeps selecting loops that fit the rhythm and bassline. The DJ listens to the AI-generated parts and adjusts the sound of the drum machine and synthesizer on the spot. The DJ also controls the volume and audio effects of each track to build up the musical development. The DJ can also use turntables to mix records with AI-generated music.


Top AI-Powered Photo Editing Tools In 2022

#artificialintelligence

There are currently several AI-based image editing apps available that can not only edit images to meet specific requirements, such as removing backgrounds or enhancing colors but also do so quickly. As a result, post-processing time is reduced to a bare minimum. This artificial intelligence-based image editing software uses an algorithm based on machine learning and neural networks to completely change the look of images, rather than simply overlaying them as regular filters do. Sketch quickly became the go-to UI design app among professionals worldwide after its release in 2010. Although many competitors have chipped away at its market share since then, its position as the industry standard has remained relatively stable to this day.


Amazon vets land $10M for WhyLabs, a Seattle startup that monitors machine learning models - News Nation USA

#artificialintelligence

The news: WhyLabs, a spinout from the Seattle's Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2), raised $10 million and released a new tool to support machine learning applications. The problem: As more companies leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence, the need to capture and correct failures is becoming more urgent. Reliance on algorithms can lead to negative implications, as evidenced this week by Zillow Group, for example. "The challenges begin once the machine learning system is live -- it automates millions of decisions a day," a WhyLabs spokesperson told GeekWire in an email. "Monitoring how well it's working becomes critical, because machine learning systems fail in often catastrophic ways."


Artificial intelligence has created new songs by Nirvana and Amy Winehouse.

#artificialintelligence

"Drown in the Sun" by Nirvana, "Man, I Know" by Amy Winehouse, "You're Gonna Kill Me" by Jimi Hendrix, and "The Roads Are Alive" by The Doors are the songs featured on the unique compilation The Lost Tapes of the 27 Club. The songs are unique not only because they were created through artificial intelligence, but also because of their message. Will never rise with me to fire" -- sings the singer in Nirvana's "new" song "Drown in the Sun." The lyrics and music are deceptively reminiscent of the original style of Kurt Cobain, who died in 1994, but the musician himself of the "found" song never composed, never wrote the lyrics, and never heard it. "Drown in the Sun" was created through artificial intelligence, and is produced by the non-profit organization Over the Bridge, which with its project The Lost Tapes of the 27 Club wants to draw attention to the issue of mental health among artists. To this end, it has decided to symbolically bring several musicians back to life by resurrecting their music. Using machine learning technology from Google -- namely the Magenta program -- it was possible to create new tracks of musicians who died prematurely by joining the so-called 27 Club. First, the IT specialists fed the computer program an archive of about 30 Nirvana songs. The Magenta program then analyzed the files for repeating components and then developed an entirely new song. However, the vocalist's voice in "Drowed in the Sun" is 100 percent human, assures Eric Hogan, lead singer of Nevermind, an Atlanta-based Nirvana cover band. Apart from the "lost" Nirvana track, The Lost Tapes of the 27 Club project has also created three other pieces, including "Man, I Know" in the style of Amy Winehouse, "The Roads Are Alive" in the style of The Doors and "You're Gonna Kill Me" in the style of Jimi Hendrix's music. All of the musicians whose music has been entrusted to artificial intelligence belong to what is known as the 27 Club. The 27 Club has become a pop culture term for musicians, artists and actors who have died at (or near) the age of 27. Many of them passed away prematurely as a result of battling debilitating addictions. Most also struggled with mental health issues. Kurt Cobain, struggling with heroin addiction, committed suicide in 1994. With its campaign Over the Bridge organization wants to draw attention to the scale of mental problems that artists face. Many of them, unable to cope with their problems, turn to drugs. According to a survey conducted by the organization, as many as 71 percent of musicians report experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, and 68 percent admit that they have struggled with depression. Suicide attempts are also a huge problem. They occur nearly twice as often among musicians and those working in the music industry as in the general population. "As long as there has been popular music, musicians and crews will struggle with mental health problems at levels that far exceed those in the general adult population.


Design of an Novel Spectrum Sensing Scheme Based on Long Short-Term Memory and Experimental Validation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Spectrum sensing allows cognitive radio systems to detect relevant signals in despite the presence of severe interference. Most of the existing spectrum sensing techniques use a particular signal-noise model with certain assumptions and derive certain detection performance. To deal with this uncertainty, learning based approaches are being adopted and more recently deep learning based tools have become popular. Here, we propose an approach of spectrum sensing which is based on long short term memory (LSTM) which is a critical element of deep learning networks (DLN). Use of LSTM facilitates implicit feature learning from spectrum data. The DLN is trained using several features and the performance of the proposed sensing technique is validated with the help of an empirical testbed setup using Adalm Pluto. The testbed is trained to acquire the primary signal of a real world radio broadcast taking place using FM. Experimental data show that even at low signal to noise ratio, our approach performs well in terms of detection and classification accuracies, as compared to current spectrum sensing methods.


Identifying Sponsored Content in News Sites With Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Researchers from the Netherlands have developed a new machine learning method that's capable of distinguishing sponsored or otherwise paid content within news platforms, to an accuracy of more than 90%, in response to growing interest from advertisers in'native' advertising formats that are difficult to distinguish from'real' journalistic output. The new paper, titled Distinguishing Commercial from Editorial Content in News, comes from researchers at Leiden University. The authors observe that though more serious publications, which can more easily dictate terms to advertisers, will make a reasonable effort to distinguish'partner content' from the general run of news and analysis, the standards are slowly but inexorably shifting to increased integration between editorial and commercial teams on an outlet, which they consider an alarming and negative trend. 'The ability to disguise content, willingly or unwillingly, and the probability that advertorials are not recognized as such even if properly labelled is significant. Marketers call it native [advertising] for a reason.'
