Machine learning helps retrace evolution of classical music
Researchers in EPFL's Digital and Cognitive Musicology Lab used an unsupervised machine learning model to "listen to" and categorize more than 13,000 pieces of Western classical music, revealing how modes – such as major and minor – have changed throughout history. Many people may not be able to define what a minor mode is in music, but most would almost certainly recognize a piece played in a minor key. That's because we intuitively differentiate the set of notes belonging to the minor scale – which tend to sound dark, tense, or sad – from those in the major scale, which more often connote happiness, strength, or lightness. But throughout history, there have been periods when multiple other modes were used in addition to major and minor – or when no clear separation between modes could be found at all. Understanding and visualizing these differences over time is what Digital and Cognitive Musicology Lab (DCML) researchers Daniel Harasim, Fabian Moss, Matthias Ramirez, and Martin Rohrmeier set out to do in a recent study, which has been published in the open-access journal Humanities and Social Sciences Communications.
What is Artificial Intelligence with examples(11 Examples)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer or a robot controlled by a computer to do tasks that are usually done by humans because they require human intelligence and discernment. Although there are no AIs that can perform the wide variety of tasks an ordinary human can do, some AIs can match humans in specific tasks. Are artificial intelligence and machine learning the same? No, artificial intelligence and machine learning are not the same, but they are closely related. Machine learning is the method to train a computer to learn from its inputs but without explicit programming for every circumstance.
AI and Robots: Now and future of technology
Artificial Intelligence (AI) describes computational system with intelligent/complex behaviour suitable for achieving goals. While AI can be entirely software, robots are subject to physical impact, typically through'sensors'. They exert physical force, usually through'actuators' like a gripper or a turning wheel. Only a tiny portion of robots is humanoid like you see in the movies. Some robots use AI while others do not.
Generating Music Using LSTM Neural Network
Have you ever wondered what goes into a creative mind? Creativity, especially artistic creativity, has long been considered innately human. But to what extent can deep learning be used to produce creative work, and how does it differ from human creativity? As my first attempt in such exploration, I'd like the train an LSTM (long-short term memory) neural network on a set of jazz standards and generate new jazz music. I wrote a scraper to download over 100 royalty-free jazz standards in MIDI format.
[D] Backpropagating to LSTM inputs!
Hi, I'm trying an architecture that is a sort of autoencoder, where the encoded representation is a string. In order to deal with differentiability issues, I'm not actually encoding it as a string, but as the softmax of the output of the encoder LSTM. Then, this tensor is fed into the decoder LSTM. However, I am noticing a huge difference (of the order of 10 3 or 10 4) between the grads calculated on the outputs of the decoder LSTM and the inputs during backpropagation. That is, it seems that the LSTM barely propagates back to the input sequence.
How AI is Transforming the Entertainment Industry - Coruzant Technologies
AI has been around for a while now when it comes to creating blockbuster movies and immersive video games, but this industry will continue to explode in 2021 and beyond. With total AI spend within the entertainment industry topping $329 million a year, says Business Wire, these technological advancements are helping professionals in all kinds of fields, from filmmaking and marketing to game development and advertising. AI is the go-to technology that not only offers amazing life-like quality to anything from video games to movies, it's designed to grab the audience's attention in unprecedented ways. Disney…Google…Intel…Microsoft…these are just some of the industry giants who are harnessing the power of AI to bring in more viewership, sell more tickets and dominate their industry. Let's take a look at how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the media and entertainment industries.
AOC criticizes NYPD's new robot dog
FOX News contributor Miranda Devine and OutKick founder Clay Travis weigh in on'Fox News @ Night.' Democrat firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., claimed that the New York City Police Department's (NYPD) new robot dog is "being deployed for testing on low-income communities of color with under-resourced schools." On Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez -- a member of the left-wing "Squad" -- blasted the NYPD's new "Digidog" on Twitter two days after the cyber hound was filmed responding to a break-in and barricade situation in the Bronx. "Shout out to everyone who fought against community advocates who demanded these resources go to investments like school counseling instead," the congresswoman wrote on Twitter, linking to a story about the robo-dog. "Now robotic surveillance ground drones are being deployed for testing on low-income communities of color with under-resourced schools," she added. "Please ask yourself: when was the last time you saw next-generation, world class technology for education, healthcare, housing, etc consistently prioritized for underserved communities like this?" she added in a second tweet.
[R] Building a bot with Keras to answer questions based on a database
What kind of questions are you looking to answer? Are you trying to information retrieval to retrieve documents from a database or actually querying and reading fields from a database? Based on your example, it looks like you're trying to do the latter. The easiest way to do this would be to train a classification model to learn different intents for questions that a user would ask the bot. E.g. "I want to know how much I earned last week" - MONEY_QUERY_INTENT and then performing DB lookups from the intent detected.
