报告摘要：Generating melody from lyrics to compose a song has been a very interesting research topic in the area of artificial intelligence and music, which tries to predict generative music relationship between lyrics and melody. Unfortunately, the limited availability of paired lyrics-melody corpus with alignment information has hindered the research progress. To address this problem, a large corpus consisting of 12,197 MIDI songs each with paired English lyrics and melody alignment is created by our group in National Institute of Informatics (NII), Tokyo. In this talk, I will introduce a novel deep generative model, conditional Long Short-Term Memory - Generative Adversarial Network (LSTM-GAN) for melody generation from lyrics, which is developed based on this large corpus. Moreover, some interesting experiment and demonstration will confirm that plausible and tuneful melody can be inferred from lyrics.
