AI Methods in Algorithmic Composition: A Comprehensive Survey

Understand

Algorithmic composition is the partial or total automation of the process of music composition by using computers.

• Since the 1950s, different computational techniques related to Artificial Intelligence have been used for algorithmic composition, including grammatical representations, probabilistic methods, neural networks, symbolic rule-based systems, constraint programming and evolutionary algorithms.
• This survey aims to be a comprehensive account of research on algorithmic composition, presenting a thorough view of the field for researchers in Artificial Intelligence.
