Sammanfattning
The content introduces a unique mathematical game theory model for jazz improvisation, focusing on reinforcement learning strategies. It explores the dynamics of musical interactions, highlighting effective strategies like Chord Following Reinforcement Learning and Stepwise Changes. The study delves into the relationship between different strategies, emphasizing the importance of adapting based on feedback and harmonizing with chord progressions. The results showcase varying performances of strategies, with Chord-Following Reinforcement Learning demonstrating the highest average payoff. Additionally, limitations in quantifying musical quality and potential future research prospects are discussed.
