Explicitly Conditioned Melody Generation

Pitch models generally achieved a higher BLEU score with added conditioning factors, while Duration networks demonstrated the opposite trend — lower scores with added conditioning factors. The highest scoring pitch models had both chord and next chord conditioning, though models trained on the Bebop dataset seemed to generally perform better with current chord conditioning than next-chord conditioning, while models trained on the Folk dataset performed better with next-chord conditioning. While pitch models scored between .1 and .3, duration models scored from .5 to .9; that duration models with less conditioning scored higher than those with more may actually indicate that models with more conditioning generalized better, as their scores were closer to .5

MGEval produces a lot of numbers — In our case, 66 for a single model (6 scores each for 11 MGEval metrics we used).
