Rencon 2004: Turing Test for Musical Expression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rencon is an annual international event that started in 2002. It has roles of (1) pursuing evaluation methods for systems whose output includes subjective issues, and (2) providing a forum for researches of several fields related to musical expression. In the past, Rencon was held as a workshop associated with a musical contest that provided a forum for presenting and discussing the latest research in automatic performance rendering. This year we introduce new evaluation methods of performance expression to Rencon: a Turing Test and a Gnirut Test, which is a reverse Turing Test, for performance expression. We have opened a section of the contests to any instruments and genre of music, including synthesized human voices.

After the first year of Rencon
Rencon, CONtest for performance RENdering systems, started in 2002. Since we have not had evaluation methods for such systems whose output is interpreted subjectively, furthermore performance rendering is a research of not only computer science but also musicology, psychology, and cognition, Rencon has roles of (1) pursuing evaluation methods for systems whose output includes subjective issues,...
متن کاملInteractive Intelligence: Behaviour-based AI, Musical HCI and the Turing Test
The field of behaviour-based artificial intelligence (AI), with its roots in the robotics research of Rodney Brooks, is not predominantly tied to linguistic interaction in the sense of the classic Turing test (or, “imitation game”). Yet, it is worth noting, both are centred on a behavioural model of intelligence. Similarly, there is no intrinsic connection between musical AI and the language-ba...
متن کاملNeural Translation of Musical Style
Music is an expressive form of communication often used to convey emotion in scenarios where “words are not enough”. Part of this information lies in the musical composition where well-defined language exists. However, a significant amount of information is added during a performance as the musician interprets the composition. The performer injects expressiveness into the written score through ...
متن کاملPolyhymnia: An Automatic Piano Performance System with Statistical Modeling of Polyphonic Expression and Musical Symbol Interpretation
We developed an automatic piano performance system called Polyhymnia that is able to generate expressive polyphonic piano performances with music scores so that it can be used as a computer-based tool for an expressive performance. The system automatically renders expressive piano music by means of automatic musical symbol interpretation and statistical models of structure-expression relations ...
متن کاملMaxine's Turing Test - A Player-Program as Co-Ethnographer of Socio-Aesthetic Interaction in Improvised Music
Beyond the goal of refining system design to the needs and tastes of users, user evaluation of interactive music systems offers a method of examining the nature of musical creativity as understood by its human practitioners. In the case of improvising music systems, user study and evaluation of a system’s ability to improvise may be useful in the ethnomusicological study of musical interaction ...
