Will one day be entrusted to an artificial intelligence the care of judging the level of skills of a pianist wishing to enter the conservatory by means of a simple video sent by the candidate?
Yes, according to the latest find from researchers at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas.
They have developed a computer program capable of judging a pianist's skills by watching him play,

reported on
Sunday.
To get there, the researchers had to train the AI to spot the different levels.
In total, 61 videos taken on YouTube were used to develop a catalog.
A skilled musician rated each performance, giving scores from 1 to 10. This data was then used to feed an artificial neural network that enabled the AI to become an expert in judging the performances of pianists.
64 to 74% of good judgments
The AI judged the musicians on several criteria.
Regarding the technical skills of pianists, the AI agrees 74% with the choices of the qualified musician.
It's better than when the AI had to assess game speed, dynamics and clarity, audibly, says

.
There, the score is 64%.
The researchers are aware that their tool has not yet become an expert and admit that there is room for improvement.
The aim is to make music lessons accessible to a larger number of people.
