碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 電信工程學研究所 === 97 === In this thesis, a system ICYS (Interactively Comp Your Solo) that can accompany a jazz soloist as a jazz pianist is proposed. The learning scheme of the system is sample based. Under the concept of “divide and conquer”, the accompaniment procedure is divided into two independent paths, rhythmic and melody-harmonic accompanying. To accomplish real-time accompanying of the coming solo sequences, each of the two paths begins with analysis and prediction. Considering the different features of the data, several methods, like neural network and edit distance, are applied in predicting. After the prediction process, the next issue is to rhythmically and harmonically accompany according to the prediction results. At the end of this thesis, the audience feedback and evaluation of experts will be shown and discussed.
