Deep Beat
DeepBeat is an AI-powered rap lyric generator that uses machine learning techniques to combine lines from existing rap songs. It aims to produce lyrics that rhyme and make sense together, helping users create rap verses with minimal effort. The service was created by Eric Malmi, Stephen Fenech, and Pyry Takala and is based on research published in the paper 'DopeLearning: A Computational Approach to Rap Lyrics Generation'. The tool offers a web interface where users can generate full lyrics automatically or build verses line by line using the 'Suggest Rhyming Line' or 'Suggest Line' features. Users can also specify keywords that must appear in the generated lyrics, choose the language (English or Finnish), and enable a deep learning feature for potentially better results (though it is disabled by default for performance reasons). DeepBeat has been featured in various media outlets, including Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, MIT Technology Review, Mashable, Mic, and The New York Times, highlighting its novel approach to computational creativity. The service is free to use and has been employed by aspiring artists to create full songs, some of which are showcased on the website.
