Overview
Want to learn about Machine Learning and Recurrent Neural Networks? Want to also make music? Me too! This talk is a beginners’ exploration of python machine learning frameworks to build a music generating algorithm.
Description
This talk will go through the ups and downs of a machine learning beginner trying to create a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to implement a music generating algorithm. We will build off of Gabe’s PyGotham 2016 talk (The Sounds Of Data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb9c_WFMYeI) and will attempt to implement an RNN based on Alex Graves’ Generating Sequences With Recurrent Neural Networks (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1308.0850.pdf). Gabe Levine is a musician turned software engineer, and Jonathan Arfa is a Statistics and Machine Learning enthusiast
