Abstract:Generating melody from lyrics is an interesting yet challenging task in the area of artificial intelligence and music. However, the difficulty of keeping the consistency between input lyrics and generated melody limits the generation quality of previous works. In our proposal, we demonstrate our proposed interpretable lyrics-to-melody generation system which can interact with users to understand the generation process and recreate the desired songs. To improve the reliability of melody generation that matches lyrics, mutual information is exploited to strengthen the consistency between lyrics and generated melodies. Gumbel-Softmax is exploited to solve the non-differentiability problem of generating discrete music attributes by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Moreover, the predicted probabilities output by the generator is utilized to recommend music attributes. Interacting with our lyrics-to-melody generation system, users can listen to the generated AI song as well as recreate a new song by selecting from recommended music attributes.
Abstract:Since many online music services emerged in recent years so that effective music recommendation systems are desirable. Some common problems in recommendation system like feature representations, distance measure and cold start problems are also challenges for music recommendation. In this paper, I proposed a triplet neural network, exploiting both positive and negative samples to learn the representation and distance measure between users and items, to solve the recommendation task.
