摘要翻译：
除了预测、分类和翻译等传统任务之外，深度学习作为音乐生成的一种方法正受到越来越多的关注，谷歌的Magenta和Spotify的CTRL（Creator Technology research Lab）等最近的研究小组见证了这一点。其动机是利用深度学习架构和训练技术的能力，从任意音乐语料库中自动学习音乐风格，然后从估计的分布中生成样本。然而，直接应用深度学习来快速生成内容达到了极限，因为生成的内容往往模仿训练集，而没有表现出真正的创造力。此外，深度学习架构并不提供控制生成的直接方法（例如，施加一些调性或其他任意约束）。此外，深度学习架构本身就是一种自闭自动机，它在没有人类用户交互的情况下自主生成音乐，远没有达到交互协助音乐家创作和提炼音乐的目标。诸如：控制、结构、创造性和交互性等问题是我们分析的重点。在本文中，我们选择了深度学习直接应用于音乐生成的一些局限性，分析了为什么这些问题没有得到解决，以及如何通过可能的方法来解决这些问题。最近的系统的各种例子被引用作为有希望的方向的例子。

英文摘要：
  In addition to traditional tasks such as prediction, classification and translation, deep learning is receiving growing attention as an approach for music generation, as witnessed by recent research groups such as Magenta at Google and CTRL (Creator Technology Research Lab) at Spotify. The motivation is in using the capacity of deep learning architectures and training techniques to automatically learn musical styles from arbitrary musical corpora and then to generate samples from the estimated distribution. However, a direct application of deep learning to generate content rapidly reaches limits as the generated content tends to mimic the training set without exhibiting true creativity. Moreover, deep learning architectures do not offer direct ways for controlling generation (e.g., imposing some tonality or other arbitrary constraints). Furthermore, deep learning architectures alone are autistic automata which generate music autonomously without human user interaction, far from the objective of interactively assisting musicians to compose and refine music. Issues such as: control, structure, creativity and interactivity are the focus of our analysis. In this paper, we select some limitations of a direct application of deep learning to music generation, analyze why the issues are not fulfilled and how to address them by possible approaches. Various examples of recent systems are cited as examples of promising directions.
