Overview

A project that trains a LSTM recurrent neural network over a dataset of MIDI files. More information can be found on the writeup about this project or the final report written. Warning: Some parts of this codebase are unfinished.

Dependencies

• Numpy (http://www.numpy.org/)
• Tensorflow (https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow)
• Python Midi (https://github.com/vishnubob/python-midi.git)
• Mingus (https://github.com/bspaans/python-mingus)

Basic Usage

1. mkdir data && mkdir models
2. Download the dataset Nottingham MIDI dataset and unzip to data/Nottingham
3. Run python nottingham_util.py to generate the sequences and chord mapping file to data/nottingham.pickle
4. Run python rnn.py --run_name YOUR_RUN_NAME_HERE to start training the model. Use the grid object in rnn.py to edit hyperparameter configurations.
