Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for melody extraction. The techniques comprise receiving a polyphonic symbolic music file. The polyphonic symbolic music file may comprise a plurality of notes. The polyphonic symbolic music file may be converted to a plurality of feature vectors. Each of the plurality of feature vectors may be a multidimensional vector. Each of the plurality of feature vectors may correspond to a particular note of the plurality of notes. The plurality of feature vectors corresponding to the plurality of notes may be classified using a model that is trained to determine whether each of the plurality of notes belongs to a melody based on the plurality of feature vectors.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a piece of music is disclosed. The method comprises: determining an initial sequence of notes for the piece of music; determining at least one probability distribution for selecting at least one subsequent note from a set of candidate notes; generating a biasing output based on data of the initial sequence of notes; and extending the initial sequence of notes with at least one subsequent note selected from the set of candidate notes according to the probability distribution and the biasing output, wherein the biasing output biases the selection so as to affect the likelihood of the selection resulting in a repeat of a musical element formed by the initial sequence of notes.
