Cocreative Interaction: Somax2 and the REACH Project – The Computer Music Journal

Gérard Assayag, Laurent Bonnasse-Gahot, Joakim Borg; Cocreative Interaction: Somax2 and the REACH Project. Computer Music Journal 2022; 46 (4): 7–25. doi: https://doi.org/10.1162/comj_a_00662 https://direct.mit.edu/comj/issue/46/4 Abstract : Somax2 is an artificial intelligence (AI)-based multiagent system for human–machine “coimprovisation” that generates stylistically coherent streams while continuously listening and adapting to musicians or other agents. The model on which it is based can be […]

Large-scale contrastive language-audio pretraining with feature fusion and keyword-to-caption augmentation

Read full publication. Published by Yusong Wu, Ke Chen, Tianyu Zhang, Yuchen Hui, Marianna Nezhurina, Taylor Berg-Kirkpatrick, Shlomo Dubnov. Abstract: Contrastive learning has shown remarkable success in the field of multimodal representation learning. In this paper, we propose a pipeline of contrastive language-audio pretraining to develop an audio representation by combining audio data with natural […]

Challenging epistemic biases in musical AI: a guerrilla approach to human – machine comprovisation based on Xenakis’s sketches for Evryali

Article by Pavlos Antoniadis, Department of Music Studies, University of Ioannina. Download article Abstract: The objective of this paper is to reflect on the affordances of sketches as interfaces for human and machine learning, by way of a case-study based on Iannis Xenakis’s Evryali (1973). First, we report on one-to-one mappings between the composer’s original […]
