However, in order to release its full potential, new techniques to aid both productivity and creativity of the heuristics are in demand. This project is therefore to research and develop new technologies aiming to advance the next generation of meta-composition, which would combine symbolic and neural AI methods, hence sharing common endeavour with neurosymbolism towards the future paradigm of creative AI.
