Motifs, Phrases, and Beyond: The Modelling of Structure in Symbolic Music Generation

no code implementations12 Mar 2024 Keshav Bhandari, Simon Colton

Modelling musical structure is vital yet challenging for artificial intelligence systems that generate symbolic music compositions.

Exploring XAI for the Arts: Explaining Latent Space in Generative Music

1 code implementation10 Aug 2023 Nick Bryan-Kinns, Berker Banar, Corey Ford, Courtney N. Reed, Yixiao Zhang, Simon Colton, Jack Armitage

We increase the explainability of the model by: i) using latent space regularisation to force some specific dimensions of the latent space to map to meaningful musical attributes, ii) providing a user interface feedback loop to allow people to adjust dimensions of the latent space and observe the results of these changes in real-time, iii) providing a visualisation of the musical attributes in the latent space to help people understand and predict the effect of changes to latent space dimensions.

The Beyond the Fence Musical and Computer Says Show Documentary

no code implementations11 May 2022 Simon Colton, Maria Teresa Llano, Rose Hepworth, John Charnley, Catherine V. Gale, Archie Baron, Francois Pachet, Pierre Roy, Pablo Gervas, Nick Collins, Bob Sturm, Tillman Weyde, Daniel Wolff, James Robert Lloyd

During 2015 and early 2016, the cultural application of Computational Creativity research and practice took a big leap forward, with a project where multiple computational systems were used to provide advice and material for a new musical theatre production.

Explainable Computational Creativity

no code implementations11 May 2022 Maria Teresa Llano, Mark d'Inverno, Matthew Yee-King, Jon McCormack, Alon Ilsar, Alison Pease, Simon Colton

Human collaboration with systems within the Computational Creativity (CC) field is often restricted to shallow interactions, where the creative processes, of systems and humans alike, are carried out in isolation, without any (or little) intervention from the user, and without any discussion about how the unfolding decisions are taking place.

Active Divergence with Generative Deep Learning -- A Survey and Taxonomy

no code implementations12 Jul 2021 Terence Broad, Sebastian Berns, Simon Colton, Mick Grierson

Generative deep learning systems offer powerful tools for artefact generation, given their ability to model distributions of data and generate high-fidelity results.

Automating Generative Deep Learning for Artistic Purposes: Challenges and Opportunities

no code implementations5 Jul 2021 Sebastian Berns, Terence Broad, Christian Guckelsberger, Simon Colton

The framework provides opportunities to hand over creative responsibilities to a generative system as targets for automation.

Expressivity of Parameterized and Data-driven Representations in Quality Diversity Search

1 code implementation10 May 2021 Alexander Hagg, Sebastian Berns, Alexander Asteroth, Simon Colton, Thomas Bäck

We consider multi-solution optimization and generative models for the generation of diverse artifacts and the discovery of novel solutions.

Camera Obscurer: Generative Art for Design Inspiration

no code implementations6 Mar 2019 Dilpreet Singh, Nina Rajcic, Simon Colton, Jon McCormack

Using a visual similarity search for image retrieval, the \emph{Camera Obscurer} app enables rapid searching of tens of thousands of generated abstract images of various types.

Exploring Novel Game Spaces with Fluidic Games

no code implementations4 Mar 2018 Swen E. Gaudl, Mark J. Nelson, Simon Colton, Rob Saunders, Edward J. Powley, Peter Ivey, Blanca Perez Ferrer, Michael Cook

We present here a new type of mobile app -- fluidic games -- and illustrate our iterative approach to their design.

Off The Beaten Lane: AI Challenges In MOBAs Beyond Player Control

no code implementations9 Jun 2017 Michael Cook, Adam Summerville, Simon Colton

MOBAs represent a huge segment of online gaming and are growing as both an eSport and a casual genre.

The Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate: A New Approach to Computational Creativity

no code implementations25 Jul 2015 Azlan Iqbal, Matej Guid, Simon Colton, Jana Krivec, Shazril Azman, Boshra Haghighi

It uses selected attributes from objects in various domains (e. g. chess problems, classical music, renowned artworks) and recombines them in such a way as to generate new attributes that can then, in principle, be used to create novel objects of creative value to humans relating to any one of the source domains.

Modelling serendipity in a computational context

no code implementations3 Nov 2014 Joseph Corneli, Anna Jordanous, Christian Guckelsberger, Alison Pease, Simon Colton

We conclude that it is feasible to equip computational systems with the potential for serendipity, and that this could be beneficial in varied computational creativity/AI applications, particularly those designed to operate responsively in real-world contexts.
