A Creation of Music-Like Melody by Interactive Genetic Algorithm with User's Intervention

We have recently proposed Interactive Genetic Algorithm (IGA) creating music piece with user’s intervention. IGA is one of interactive evolutionary computation and is known as effective method to optimize certain pattern suited to each user’s feelings. The user’s intervention is expected to accelerate the optimization. In the intervention method, the user operates the music melody by changing keys of some music notes in each of music melodies. In general IGA, solution candidates are presented to the users, then the users subjectively evaluate them. In the IGA with user’s Intervention, after the presentation, the users can operate the individual when the users want to. After finishing the operation, the user input the fitness value of the presented solution candidate to the IGA system. This study focuses on improving the proposed IGA to create more music like melody. With the improvements, pattern of music melody is lengthened and is attached music chord.
