Irish Melody Maker

[Estiocle]

Hi,

 

Irish Melody Maker is a project was supervised by Exascale Infolab of the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. The main idea of the project is to create a program that generates Irish style melodies. The program has to learn how a human being composes a melody. The database of the website TheSession.org is used as a reference for composing rules. Markov Chains are used in order to create a knowledge base with which the program could imitate human composition.

 

The program is now ready to generate some melodies. I need help to evaluate it. Here's a turing test you can try to help me to collect data :

I will be happy to answer to your questions.

Interesting. Back in 1990 when I was at Uni, I talked to a guy doing the same thing with "Cowboy" music. Never found out if he got a good result.
