Genetic Algorithm in Python generates Music (code included)

[@KieCodes]

Hello Coders! I hope you liked the video! *What else do you want to see me try to generate using a genetic algorithm?* 🙀 If you want to learn more about genetic algorithms and how to program with them yourself, check out my playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLuZkwckxno0qjTQcrfaQ3INlCkM4bn5fk

[@evelynreigh]

How close are topology optimization and genetic algorithms? I would love to see a series using genetic algorithms in generative design.

[@KieCodes]

The problem in all things subjective is the fitness function. How can you determine the fitness of a design? If the design has function, like designing a bridge, thats a whole different story, but if it is just aesthetics, its harder. That’s why I used the fallback in this video.

Interesting concept. You could put all the pieces of the algorithm together, create a web interface, and crowd-source the fitness functions. Maybe even create a genetic algorithm for an entire produced song? Talk about a complicated project, but that would be an interesting experiment if it went viral and you had loads of input from a variety of music tastes.

[@KieCodes]

Hey Joey, thanks for commenting! Yes that is an interesting idea. I will keep this idea for a future video. I was thinking about that for this video as well, but my audience is too little to get some meaningful results in a practical amount of time.

Thank you so much for your kind words . Your channel is amazing as well. Well produced videos with good content! I just subbed!

[@szymonstepniak]

@@KieCodes Woohoo, thanks! Btw, do you think that a generic algorithm could be used to e.g. generate text jokes? It's not only about the randomness, because words have to be used in the specific context to be funny, but I guess it might be similar to notes and scales in music. I wonder if a computer could have a good sense of humor :)

[@KieCodes]

Ohh I think that's a hard one. Like I had to impose some limitations and intelligence what a melody needs by adding scales and rhythm, with jokes you need to do the same for grammar and, I guess, the structure of a joke. Additionally how would you rate if a joke is funny? You could, of course, do a fitness function which asks you if you find that funny, but could you really rate it on a scale between one and five? The problem with jokes, in my opinion is, that they are either funny, or the are not.And without a slope for the GA to climb to get better iteratively, it is just pure randomness. (I hope that makes sense)

[@szymonstepniak]

@Kie Codes Yeah, that makes sense. Even with one-liners, a few words might sound funny next to each other but may lose their meaning when put next to a few other funny words, so it gets even less and less deterministic. Even if we put the grammar aside, it doesn't make the problem simpler. I can't wait next Monday to see your upcoming video, they are very educational! 👍

Thanks Szymon. I am not sure I will go back to weekly uploads. I rather upload once every other week or less but increase the production value a little. So there will no video next monday. Maybe the monday after that.

[@WaynaPicchu05]

This was fun to watch. I found your three-part series on GAs after trying a GA project of my own and running into an issue that the algorithm kept converging on "fittest" members of the population that were doing something I know cannot be the best solution. Briefly, my first project was encoding strategy for the AKQ game (a toy game that isn't serious, but is used to test concepts). One thing that it self-evident is that no strategy should *ever* fold an A, the strongest card, but some of the supposedly fittest members were doing that. So there's something wrong either with my fitness function (which was basically having every member of the population play all the others a few hundred times and seeing how many times they won), or maybe my mutation rate. Or maybe because there are only 64 possible alleles the search space is too small?

[@KieCodes]

Hey Stan, thanks for your kind words. Regarding your problem: It is hard to tell where the problem lies without knowing the code. But I will give it a try. Of course there could be a problem with your fitness function, like you already mentioned. Another problem could be the encoding of your genome. How do you encode the game strategy into the genome? Another problem with the fitness might be, that 100 plays is not enough data to really distinguish bad from good startegy, have you tried to increase the number of games per genome? The mutation rate can be problem, when you see your average fitness per generation not really converge towards a minimum/maximum. If that happens,m there is too much chaos in the system. A small search space is only a problem, if the the fitness valus between each possible solution is too narrow. This also known as the "no hill to climb problem". If you solutions are all equally "good" in terms of fitness it is hard to tell a better genome from a worse one. If the increase in number of games per genome to determine the fitniss is not enough, you have to add more gaem knowledge to the firness value. For instance you could punish the genomes that fold an A and therefor decrease their fitness. I hope that makes sense and helps. Have a great day!

[@WaynaPicchu05]

@@KieCodes Thanks for your response. The current algorithm plays each allele in the population against all the other 2000 times (each matchup plays 1000 times as player 1 and 1000 times as player 2). The top two winners are the fittest. The current version only crosses over by swapping one bit. Earlier versions crossed over entire swaths at random points, but with only 6 bits in each allele I thought that might too easily destroy good alleges.

[@JohnCrawford1979]

An interesting concept. Music is very algorithmic based already. From the basic octave scale to twelve-tone, as well as chords and chord progression. Even tone pitch, length, and other variables have numeric values. As it is, many composers practically play mathematical games to consider all these things, similar to how you did it with Python. Others, it's more of a feeling around to how things fit and what direction the music goes. So this process was basically put into the program to come up with themes and variations that you decided work best. An interesting way to help generate the ideas.

[@tezlashock]

you could totally encode the 256 bits of data into fewer by assigning the bar to one full rotation of a circle. At every pi/8 rotations reference a separate function which represent the note pitch and another separate function which represents "pause" or "play". In effect, encode volume and pitch separately and all notes should still hit on a beat!

Awesome video :) Maybe for arranging the song you could look at all the songs in "Axis of Awesome - Four Chord Song", as they rely on songs using the same chords, yet still creating a huge variety of popular songs. If you use MIDI files of these songs, limit the algorithm to the keyboard/rhythm guitar (you could check which instrument primarily contains the four chords and have it auto-select that one :D) and use that data to train the algorithm, you could teach it how to arrange songs. Not sure how successful that would be, but it might be a decent starting point.

[@joeyda3rd]

I like this idea because it limits the samples to chord combinations we already know we like. Even if it had some variation from the 4 chords or was in a different key (not sure about music theory)

For a fitness function, would it be possible to have 5 of your favorite melodies, lets call them "base melodies" and every time the algorithm generates a new melody the fitness function will "compare" it with the base melodies and give a rating based on how similar they sound. This would eliminate the manual rating part and allow for the algorithm to evolve much faster.

Sure. The hard part would be to define something that compares the melodies without pushing the algo to exactly replicate your base melodies.

Its an interesting idea but i think your making the process to hard on you. The fundemental issue you ran into is that the quality of a melody is not easy to translate to a fitness function. But if you are going to sit there and judge quality yourself anyway you might as well start of with some melodies you already like. I think i could be interesting to have a setup where you feed in some musical ideas to start with and then the program mutates the melodies slighlty as you described changing some notes combining pieces. This way you could have a nice way of quckly iterating over new ideas to then put into a song.
