Facebook AI Research (FAIR) has developed a neural network that can translate music from one style, genre, and set of instruments into another.
The artificial intelligence (AI) system takes one input, such as a symphony orchestra playing Bach, and translates it into another version of the same song, such as on a piano in the style of Beethoven.
The FAIR team says this marks the first time an unsupervised learning method has been able to recreate high-fidelity music with a neural network.
The new approach involves a complex method of auto-encoding that enables the network to process audio from inputs on which it has never been trained. The unsupervised learning method uses high-level semantics interpretation, instead of attempting to match pitch or memorize notes.
