Counterpoint is the construction of a musical piece by superimposing multiple melodies, indirectly forming an underlying harmonic structure. Here, we include a description of the underlying algorithm, fitness function, and overall system modules.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/207","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0207.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/207.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/207","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":207,"pages":{"first":1383,"last":1383},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
