Unifying Conceptual Spaces: Concept Formation in Musical Creative Systems

Between mind and mathematics. Different kinds of computational representations of music

“…For a different description of Gärdenfors's theory of conceptual spaces with respect to concept formations in Musical Creative Systems, see Forth et al [2010].…”

Applications of Conceptual Spaces

“…Currently, the proposed architecture does not take into account the metrical structure of the perceived tones; this is left for future works. Interesting starting points that could well fit with the proposed architecture have been proposed by Forth et al (2010) and by Bååth et al (2013).…”

“…Concerning the relationships between music perception and conceptual spaces, Forth et al (2010) discuss the relationships between the abstract notion of conceptual spaces in the sense of Boden (2004), and the concrete, geometrically grounded notion of conceptual spaces in the sense of Gärdenfors from the point of view of creative musical systems (Wiggins 2006). Bååth et al (2013) discuss a model for rhythm perception based on conceptual spaces inspired by the cognitive model proposed by Desain and Honing (2003).…”

Towards a Deep Improviser: a prototype deep learning post-tonal free music generator

“…This is underpinned by the fact that the distributions of the temporal features are very different from those of pitch and velocity. We will consider transformations based on cumulative density functions, identification of repetitions and geometrical structures within perceptually grounded representations as possible means of reducing the complexity of those data [44,45] particularly for further analyses of outputs.…”
