Re: training AI for visual tasks

[Phil Halton]

Thanks Dave I thought Sebelius might be a real bummer it’s more work than I care to take on and it’s really not that necessary. As far as training AI to look at the grid of chords I’ll leave that to the man who’s doing the AI training. And, as far as not notating the fingers to be used, well, it’s your hand, and there’s only so many ways you can arrange your fingers so I leave that to the intelligence of the player.

Chords are usually represented by a vertical stack of either notes or numbers on a musical staff. He is supplying the AI model with a photograph of the musical staff that contains these note stacks and training it to convert them into what we call, for lack of a better term, Guitar language. For example, a simple G chord from a musical staff would be converted to the form "three, two, X, X, X, three". This would be a tremendous help to the blind in learning exact cord voicings rather than just inferring them from a court symbol. I think the Guitar school uses Sebelius for writing tabletures but I'm really not sure. Is Sebelius an accessible program? Is it a beast to learn to use effectively? Finally, does anyone know of any other accessible ways to get cord voicings from the typical core diagrams that you find out there on the Internet?
