Abstract

In music, the term artificial intelligence might seem to evoke only the automatic generation of music by a computer. But what is really behind this concept?

How does the scientific community of computer music understand the issue of AI in music? And can we not see these new techniques as a springboard for artistic creativity? In this talk, we will use concrete examples to show you how AI works in music. In particular, we will cover two different tasks: automatic musical transcription (sheet music reading) and timbre transfer (controlling one virtual instrument with another).
