| GP-Music: An Interactive Genetic Programming System for Music Generation with Automated Fitness Raters (1998) | |||||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
| In this paper we present the GP-Music System, an interactive system which allows users to evolve short musical sequences using interactive genetic programming. We also present an extension which uses a neural network to model a users preferences, then stands in for them during the evolutionary process. The use of this `automated fitness rater' allows the system to operate both with and without user interaction. 1 Introduction The GP-Music System is an interactive system which allows users to evolve short musical sequences using interactive genetic programming (GP). Extensions to the system allow it to work in a fully automated mode. The basic GP-Music system works by using GP with a small set of functions for creating musical sequences, and a user interface which allows the user to rate individual sequences. In the past ten years some researchers have tried to apply genetic algorithms, sometimes with neural networks as automatic raters, to the task of composing and creatin... | |||||||||||||||||
