Facebook has detailed a new AI project it’s developed which is able to outline creative dance moves based on any musical input, in order to help dancers and choreographers come up with new routines.
As explained by Facebook:
“The system analyzes a music track from nearly any genre and, just moments later, cooks up some synchronized moves. The system’s code works by detecting quantifiable similarities in a song at two different points in time, then searching for similar mathematical patterns in a giant matrix of dance move sequences. Since the system’s only computational constraint is ensuring that its movements synchronize with the music, it is able to generate novel dance routines, which human judges have evaluated as highly creative in comparison to other generated dances.”
