A Comparison of Human and Computational Melody Prediction Through Familiarity and Expertise

By

In early December, we published a new paper in Frontiers in Psychology, dealing with the human melody prediction—specifically a comparison between musicians and non-musicians—and comparing it to machine predictors. A full paper is available here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.557398/full ABSTRACT: Melody prediction is an important aspect of music listening. The success of prediction, i.e., whether the next note played in a song is…

Compositional hierarchical model for rhythmic pattern analysis

By

We recently published another paper on the compositional hierarchical model. In an attempt to further generalise the model, we adjusted and applied it to rhythmic input. The model showed promising results; while it was trained unsupervisedly, it identified basic rhythmic patterns. Moreover, it adjusted to live music (live performance) where it unsupervisedly discriminated between different meters. Quite awesome! The full…
