MIT IQHack23 2nd Place Project: Quantum Music Generator
- We encode sheet music into a quantum circuit and use a variational algorithm (parameter-shift rule) to create a jazz variation of the randomly generated sheet music. We extract the MFCCs of our music data and use gradient descent to optimize the hyper-parameters of the quantum gates representing the pitch and length of notes, testing similarity of our sheet music MFCC to our baseline Jazz music from the GZSTAN dataset via KNN.
- This project is the second place winner of MIT IQuack2023.
