چکیده

Genetic art is a recent art form generated by computers based on the genetic algorithms (GAs). In this paper, the components of a GA embedded into a genetic art tool named AMUSE are introduced. AMUSE is used to generate improvised melodies over a musical piece given a harmonic context. Population of melodies is evolved towards a better musical form based on a fitness function that evaluates ten different melodic and rhythmic features. Performance analysis of the GA based on a public evaluation shows that the objectives used by the fitness function are assembled properly and it is a successful artificial intelligence application.

Jamsketch: a drawing-based real-time evolutionary improvisation support system

In this paper, we present JamSketch, a real-time improvisation support system which automatically generates melodies according to melodic outlines drawn by the users. The system generates the improvised melodies based on (1) an outline sketched by the user using a mouse or a touch screen, (2) a genetic algorithm based on a dataset of existing music pieces as well as musical knowledge, and (3) a...

Improvised Music with Swarms

This paper describes SWARMUSIC, an interactive music improviser. A particle swarm algorithm is used to generate musical material by a mapping of particle positions onto events in MIDI space. Interaction with an external musical source arises through the attraction of the particle swarm to a target. SWARMUSIC is the first application of swarm intelligence to music.

بهینه سازی مشخصه فیزیکی تالاب پیش ساخته به کمک مدل شبیه‌ساز-بهینه‌ساز MUSIC-GA

Nowadays, urbanization is a common process which replaces vegetation cover with impervious areas. This process increases urban stormwater. A new tendency in urban stormwater management endorses ‘source control’, whereby distributed water sensitive urban design systems are built throughout the subdivisions to alleviate the effects of land use changes. Various costs and functions are ...

Chords not required: Incorporating horizontal and vertical aspects independently in a computer improvisation algorithm

Most previous computer improvisation algorithms for tonal jazz create an output based primarily on the underlying chord progression. This approach may partly ignore melodic continuity often seen in transcriptions of traditional jazz artists. Here we suggest a different approach implemented as a computer algorithm that creates material solely based on probabilities related to past note choices. ...

Solving a Joint Availability-Redundancy Optimization Model with Multi-State Components with Meta-Heuristic

This paper has been worked on a RAP with multi-state components and the performance rate of each component working state may increase by spending technical and organizational activities costs. Whereas RAP belongs to Np-Hard problems, we used Genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) and for solving the presented problem and calculating system reliability universal generating function ...
