A team from the University of Washington wanted to see if a computer vision system could learn to tell what is being played on a piano just from an overhead view of the keys and the player\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/news\/2021\/02\/04\/audeo-teaches-artificial-intelligence-play-piano\/\">Audeo<\/a>, the system trained by Eli Shlizerman, Kun Su and Xiulong Liu, watches video of piano playing and first extracts a piano-roll-like simple sequence of key presses. Then it adds expression in the form of length and strength of the presses, and lastly polishes it up for input into a MIDI synthesizer for output. The results are a little loose but definitely recognizable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s more AI news out there than anyone can possibly keep up with.
