Alexandre DuBreuil

Alexandre DuBreuil is a software engineer and generative music artist. Through collaborations with bands and artists, he has worked on many generative art projects, such as generative video systems for music bands in concerts that create visuals based on the underlying musical structure, a generative drawing software that creates new content based on a previous artist's work, and generative music exhibits in which the generation is based on real-time events and data. Machine learning has a central role in his music generation projects, and Alexandre has been using Magenta since its release for inspiration, music production, and as the cornerstone for making autonomous music generation systems that create endless soundscapes.

Summary

In this chapter, we used the datasets that we prepared in the previous chapter to train the Magenta models on different instruments and genres. We first compared different models and configurations for specific use cases and then showed how to create a new one if necessary.

Then, we launched different training runs and looked at how to tune the model for better training. We showed how to launch the training and evaluation jobs and how to check the resulting metrics on the TensorBoard. Then, we saw a case of overfitting and explained how to fix overfitting and underfitting. We also showed how to define the proper network size and hyperparameters, by looking at problems such as incorrect batch size, memory errors, a model not converging, and not having enough training data. Using our newly trained model, we've generated sequences and showed how to package and handle...
