    There are 2 kinds of evolution, one is gradual changes over a long time, the other is when a massive event causes a filter and only a certain subset is able to continue (punctuated equilibrium). Human civilization in its own right is punctuated equilibrium

    evolution didn’t suddenly stop at the turn of human civilization. It just shapes human evolution. Evolution is guided by the needs of the species. If some people feel energized chasing deer all day but society needs doctors, lawyers, etc… then those that are energized performing the new needs of society are going to have an advantage

















  • Thanks for the feedback! I also asked a similar question on the ai stack exchange thread and got some helpful feedback there

    It was a great project for brushing up on seq2seq modeling, but I decided to shelve it since someone released a polished website doing the same thing.

    The idea was the vocabulary of music composition are chords and the sentences / paragraphs that are measures are sequences of chords or sequences of measures

    I think it’s a great project because the limited vocab size and max sequence length are much shorter than what is typical for transformers applied to LLM tasks like digesting novels for example. So for consumer grade harder (12GB VRam) it’s feasible to train a couple different model architectures in tandem

    Additionally, nothing sounds bad in music composition, it’s up to the musician to find a creative way to make it sound good. So even if the model is poorly trained, so long as it doesn’t output EOS immediately after BOS, and the sequences are unique enough, it’s pretty hard to find something that isn’t different that still works.

    It’s also fairly easy to gather data from a site like iRealPro

    The repo is still disorganized, but if you’re curious the main script is scrape.py
