Bases: pycomposer.gan_composable.GANComposable

Algorithmic Composer based on Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks(Conditional GANs).

This composer learns observed data points drawn from a conditional true distribution of input MIDI files and generates feature points drawn from a fake distribution that means such as Uniform distribution or Normal distribution, imitating the true MIDI files data.

The components included in this class are functionally differentiated into three models.

1. TrueSampler.
2. Generator.
3. Discriminator.

The function of TrueSampler is to draw samples from a true distribution of input MIDI files. Generator has NoiseSampler`s which can be considered as a `Conditioner`s like the MidiNet(Yang, L. C., et al., 2017) and draw fake samples from a Uniform distribution or Normal distribution by use it. And `Discriminator observes those input samples, trying discriminating true and fake data.

While Discriminator observes Generator’s observation to discrimine the output from true samples, Generator observes Discriminator’s observations to confuse `Discriminator`s judgments. In GANs framework, the mini-max game can be configured by the observations of observations.

After this game, the Generator will grow into a functional equivalent that enables to imitate the TrueSampler and makes it possible to compose similar but slightly different music by the imitation.

In this class, Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs) and Deconvolution Networks are implemented as Generator and Discriminator. The Deconvolution also called transposed convolutions “work by swapping the forward and backward passes of a convolution.” (Dumoulin, V., & Visin, F. 2016, p20.)

Following MidiNet and MuseGAN(Dong, H. W., et al., 2018), this class consider bars as the basic compositional unit for the fact that harmonic changes usually occur at the boundaries of bars and that human beings often use bars as the building blocks when composing songs. The feature engineering in this class also is inspired by the Multi-track piano-roll representations in MuseGAN. But their strategies of activation function did not apply to this library since its methods can cause information losses. The models just binarize the Generator’s output, which uses tanh as an activation function in the output layer, by a threshold at zero, or by deterministic or stochastic binary neurons(Bengio, Y., et al., 2018, Chung, J., et al., 2016), and ignore drawing a distinction the consonance and the dissonance.

This library simply uses the softmax strategy. This class stochastically selects a combination of pitches in each bars drawn by the true MIDI files data, based on the difference between consonance and dissonance intended by the composer of the MIDI files.
