Multi-Genre Music Transformer -- Composing Full Length Musical Piece

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In the task of generating music, the art factor plays a big role and is a great challenge for AI. Previous work involving adversarial training to produce new music pieces and modeling the compatibility of variety in music (beats, tempo, musical stems) demonstrated great examples of learning this task. Though this was limited to generating mashups or learning features from tempo and key distributions to produce similar patterns. Compound Word Transformer was able to represent music generation task as a sequence generation challenge involving musical events defined by compound words. These musical events give a more accurate description of notes progression, chord change, harmony and the art factor. The objective of the project is to implement a Multi-Genre Transformer which learns to produce music pieces through more adaptive learning process involving more challenging task where genres or form of the composition is also considered. We built a multi-genre compound word dataset, implemented a linear transformer which was trained on this dataset. We call this Multi-Genre Transformer, which was able to generate full length new musical pieces which is diverse and comparable to original tracks. The model trains 2-5 times faster than other models discussed.




The Dawn of Killer Robots (Full Length)

#artificialintelligence

In INHUMAN KIND, Motherboard gains exclusive access to a small fleet of US Army bomb disposal robots--the same platforms the military has weaponized--and to a pair of DARPA's six-foot-tall bipedal humanoid robots. We also meet Nobel Peace Prize winner Jody Williams, renowned physicist Max Tegmark, and others who grapple with the specter of artificial intelligence, killer robots, and a technological precedent forged in the atomic age. It's a story about the evolving relationship between humans and robots, and what AI in machines bodes for the future of war and the human race.
