This is how Facebook identifies faces in online photos, how Android phones recognize commands spoken into phones, and how Microsoft Skype translates one language into another.

By looking for common patterns in millions of bicycle photos, for instance, a neural network can learn to recognize a bike. Called deep neural networks, these complex mathematical systems allow machines to learn specific behavior by analyzing vast amounts of data. techniques that have only recently come of age. The project is part of a growing effort to generate art through a set of A.I. вЂњItвЂ™s about creating new ways for people to communicate,вЂќ he said during a recent interview inside the small two-story building here that serves as headquarters for Google A.I. Eck sees Magenta as a natural extension of this work. With its empire of smartphones, apps and internet services, Google is in the business of communication, and Mr. The result is Project Magenta, a team of Google researchers who are teaching machines to create not only their own music but also to make so many other forms of art, including sketches, videos and jokes. Last spring, a few years after taking a research job at Google, Mr. Eck kept chasing the idea, and eventually, the A.I. But over the next two decades, working on the fringe of academia, Mr. Hofstadter turned him down, adamant that even the latest artificial intelligence techniques were much too primitive. Enrolling as a graduate student at Indiana University, in Bloomington, not far from where he grew up, he pitched the idea to Douglas Hofstadter, the cognitive scientist who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning book on minds and machines, вЂњ GГ¶del, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid.вЂќ Mr.

After a day spent writing computer code inside a lab run by the Department of Energy, he would take the stage at a local juke joint, playing what he calls вЂњpunk-influenced bluegrassвЂќ - вЂњJohnny Rotten crossed with Johnny Cash.вЂќ But what he really wanted to do was combine his days and nights, and build machines that could make their own songs. In the mid-1990s, Douglas Eck worked as a database programmer in Albuquerque while moonlighting as a musician.
