Music Inspired Algorithms

Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce a set of music inspired algorithms, namely, harmony search (HS), melody search (MeS) algorithm, and method of musical composition (MMC) algorithm. We first describe the general knowledge of harmony in Sect. 14.1. Then, the fundamentals and performances of HS, MeS algorithm, and MMC algorithm are introduced in Sects. 14.2 and 14.3, respectively. Finally, Sect. 14.4 summarises this chapter.

Dynamic Hunting Leadership Optimization: Algorithm and Applications

“…One of the first and most well-known music-based metaheuristic methods is the Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) [28]. Other music-based methods are the Chaotic harmony search algorithm [29] and the Music-Inspired Algorithm [30].…”
