Title: | Tra-la-lyrics: an approach to generate text based on rhythm | Authors: | Oliveira, Hugo R. Gonçalo Cardoso, F. Amílcar Pereira, Francisco C. |
Issue Date: | Jun-2007 | Publisher: | A. Cardoso and G. Wiggins | Serial title, monograph or event: | Proceedings of the 4th. International Joint Workshop on Computational Creativity | Place of publication or event: | London, UK | Abstract: | This paper is about an ongoing project, Tra-la-Lyrics which aims to create a computer program capable of gen- erating lyrics for given melodies. As a preliminary phase, the correlations between words and rhythm in a song’s lyrics was studied and some heuristics were achieved. Al- gorithms for syllabic division and syllabic stress identifi- cation on a word were implemented. A method for cal- culating the strength of each beat of a melody was also used. The actual system’s architecture is described. To get the contents of the lyrics we’ve used a relational database where we could find not only the words, but also their grammatical category and some morphological related at- tributes. Some ongoing work is also referred and some examples of the currently possible outputs of the system are presented. Conclusions and possible further work are finally discussed. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/15404 | Rights: | openAccess |
