• Title: Towards Evaluation of Autonomously Generated Musical Compositions: A Comprehensive Survey
• Authors: Daniel Kvak
• Abstract summary: A complete model for an autonomously generated composition is needed. What is the benefit of the resulting work for the author, who can no longer evaluate this composition? And in what ways should we evaluate such a composition at all?

• Abstract: There are many applications that aim to create a complete model for an autonomously generated composition; systems are able to generate muzak songs, assist singers in transcribing songs or can imitate long-dead authors. Subjective understanding of creativity or aesthetics differs not only within preferences (popular authors or genres), but also differs on the basis of experienced experience or socio-cultural environment. So, what do we want to achieve with such an adaptation? What is the benefit of the resulting work for the author, who can no longer evaluate this composition? And in what ways should we evaluate such a composition at all?

  SongCreator is a song-generation system designed to tackle the challenge of generating songs with both vocals and accompaniment given lyrics. The model features two novel designs: a meticulously designed dual-sequence language model (M) to capture the information of vocals and accompaniment for song generation, and a series of attention mask strategies for DSLM. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of SongCreator by achieving state-of-the-art or competitive performances on all eight tasks.

  We are inspired by how musicians compose music not just from a movie script, but also through visualizations. We propose MeLFusion, a model that can effectively use cues from a textual description and the corresponding image to synthesize music. Our exhaustive experimental evaluation suggests that adding visual information to the music synthesis pipeline significantly improves the quality of generated music.

  Music composition is a complex task that requires abilities to understand and generate information with long dependency and harmony constraints. Current LLMs easily fail in this task, generating ill-written music even when equipped with modern techniques like In-Context-Learning and Chain-of-Thoughts. We propose ComposerX, an agent-based symbolic music generation framework.

  We propose a method for generating high-quality lyrics without training on any aligned melody-lyric data. We leverage the segmentation and rhythm alignment between melody and lyrics to compile the given melody into decoding constraints. Our model can generate high-quality lyrics that are more on-topic, singable, intelligible, and coherent than strong baselines.

• Music Harmony Generation, through Deep Learning and Using a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm [0.0]
  This paper introduces a genetic multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithm for the generation of polyphonic music. One of the goals is the rules and regulations of music, which, along with the other two goals, including the scores of music experts and ordinary listeners, fits the cycle of evolution to get the most optimal response. The results show that the proposed method is able to generate difficult and pleasant pieces with desired styles and lengths, along with harmonic sounds that follow the grammar while attracting the listener, at the same time.
