OpenAI's MuseNet Learned to Compose Mozart, Bon Jovi and More

dear fellow scholars this is two minute papers with károly on IIFA here not so long ago open AI has released GPT to an AI that was trained to look at a piece of text and perform common natural language processing operations on it for instance answering questions summarization and more but today we are going to be laser focused on only one of those tasks and that task is continuation where we give an AI a bunch of texts and we ask it to continue it however as these learning algorithms are quite general by design here comes the twist who said that this can only work for text why not try it on composing music so let's have a look at some results we're only the first six notes were given from a song and the AI was asked to continue it love it this is a great testament to the power of general learning algorithms as you've heard this works great for a variety of different runners as well and not only that but it can also create really cool blends between genres listen as the AI starts out from the first six nodes of a Chopin piece and transitions into a pop style with a bunch of different instruments entering a few seconds in and great news because if you look here we can try our own combinations through an online demo as well on the left side we can specify and here the short input sample and ask for a variety of different styles for the continuation it is amazing fun try it I've put a link in the video description I was particularly impressed with this combination really cool now this algorithm is also not without limitations as it has difficulties pairing instruments that either don't go too well together or there is lacking training data on how they should sound together the source code is also either already available as of the publishing of this video or will be available soon if so I will come back and update the video description with the link open AI has also published an almost to our concert with tons of different genres so make sure to head to the video description and check it out yourself I think these techniques are either already so powerful or will soon be powerful enough to raise important copyright questions and will need plenty of discussions on who really owns this piece of music what do you think let me know in the comments thanks for watching and for your generous support and I'll see you next time
