Deep Attention-Based Alignment Network for Melody Generation from Incomplete Lyrics

Sound 2023-01-25 v1 Artificial Intelligence Audio and Speech Processing

Abstract

We propose a deep attention-based alignment network, which aims to automatically predict lyrics and melody with given incomplete lyrics as input in a way similar to the music creation of humans. Most importantly, a deep neural lyrics-to-melody net is trained in an encoder-decoder way to predict possible pairs of lyrics-melody when given incomplete lyrics (few keywords). The attention mechanism is exploited to align the predicted lyrics with the melody during the lyrics-to-melody generation. The qualitative and quantitative evaluation metrics reveal that the proposed method is indeed capable of generating proper lyrics and corresponding melody for composing new songs given a piece of incomplete seed lyrics.
