A creative artificially-intuitive and reasoning agent in the context of live music improvisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on the architecture and performance of a creative artificially-intuitive and reasoning agent (CAIRA) as an improviser and conductor for improvised avant-garde music. The agent’s listening skills are based on a music recognition system that simulates the human auditory periphery to perform an Auditory Scene Analysis (ASA). Its simulation of cognitive processes includes a cognitive calculus for reasoning and decision-making using logic based-reasoning. The agent is evaluated in live sessions with music ensembles. Keywords—automated music improvisation systems, informative feedback models, artificial creativity, cognitive modeling, free music, auditory scene analysis
