Melody Classifier with Stacked-LSTM


Abstract in English

Attempts to use generative models for music generation have been common in recent years, and some of them have achieved good results. Pieces generated by some of these models are almost indistinguishable from those being composed by human composers. However, the research on the evaluation system for machine-generated music is still at a relatively early stage, and there is no uniform standard for such tasks. This paper proposes a stacked-LSTM binary classifier based on a language model, which can be used to distinguish the human composers work from the machine-generated melody by learning the MIDI files pitch, position, and duration.
