Users can compose a two-measure melody before machine learning is used to harmonise it into"Bach's signature music style".How Google's cutting-edge Doodle worksGoogle has celebrated legendary composer Johann Sebastian Bach by creating the first-ever Doodle to be powered by artificial intelligence .
The animation, which sits atop of the search engine's website, shows the 18th-century composer playing an organ - commemorating his day of birth on 21 March 1685.Machine learning is then used to"harmonise the custom melody into Bach's signature music style".Bach's chorales were known for having four voices carrying their own melodic line.
To develop the AI-powered Google Doodle, the tech giant's developers created a machine-learning model that was trained on 306 of Bach's chorale harmonisations. Another team worked to allow machine learning to occur within the web browser instead of on its servers.
Preferred the original Rolling Stones harmisation for she's a rainbow tbh.
Thanks for getting a Handel on the Google situation.
The biggest news story at the moment is the RevokeArticle50 petition which is drawing in on 1 million signatures. Not a tweet on it from you.
