For\nimplementation, a hybrid approach incorporating parametric Markov models of\nhigher order and a contour concept of phrases is used. This work is based on\nthe master thesis of Thayabaran Kathiresan (2015). An online listening test\nconducted shows that enhancing a pure Markov model with musically relevant\ncontext, like count and planed melody contour, improves the result\nsignificantly.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.09212v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.09212v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-hybrid-approach-to-supervised-machine","repo_url":"https://github.com/roba91/melody-composer","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"machine-learning","task_name":"BIG-bench Machine Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
