Automatic melodic harmonization tackles the assignment of harmony content (musical chords) over a given melody. Probabilistic approaches to melodic harmonization utilize statistical information derived from a training dataset, producing harmonies that encapsulate some harmonic characteristics of the training dataset. Training data is usually annotated symbolic musical notation. In addition to the obvious musicological interest, different machine learning approaches and algorithms have been proposed for such a task, strengthening thus the challenge of efficient & effective music information utilisation using probabilistic systems. Consequently, the aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the specific research domain as well as to shed light on the subtasks that have arisen and since evolved. Finally, new trends and future directions are discussed along with the challenges which still remain unsolved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
