Google is an American multinational technology company specializing in Internet-related services and products. These include online advertising technologies, search, cloud computing, software, and hardware. At Moogfest 2017, we will be joined by Google Brain's research project, Magenta.
Magenta encompasses two goals. It’s first a research project to advance the state-of-the art in music, video, image and text generation. So much has been done with machine learning to understand content— for example speech recognition and translation; Magenta explores content generation and creativity. Second, Magenta is an attempt to build a community of artists, coders and machine learning researchers around machine learning tools for creation, via open source. Research areas in Brain surrounding creativity include generative models for media, learning in domains where we lack a clear measure of success (related to unsupervised learning), and reinforcement learning for real-time interaction with artists and musicians.
