Multi-Think Transformer for Enhancing Emotional Health

The smart healthcare system not only focuses on physical health but also on emotional health. Music therapy, as a non-pharmacological treatment method, has been widely used in clinical treatment, but music selection and generation still require manual intervention. AI music generation technology can assist people in relieving stress and providing more personalized and efficient music therapy support. However, existing AI music generation highly relies on the note generated at the current time to produce the note at the next time. This will lead to disharmonious results. The first reason is the small errors being ignored at the current generated note. This error will accumulate and spread continuously, and finally make the music become random. To solve this problem, we propose a music selection module to filter the errors of generated note. The multi-think mechanism is proposed to filter the result multiple times, so that the generated note is as accurate as possible, eliminating the impact of the results on the next generation process. The second reason is that the results of multiple generation of each music clip are not the same or even do not follow the same music rules. Therefore, in the inference phase, a voting mechanism is proposed in this paper to select the note that follow the music rules that most experimental results follow as the final result. The subjective and objective evaluations demonstrate the superiority of our proposed model in generation of more smooth music that conforms to music rules. This model provides strong support for clinical music therapy, and provides new ideas for the research and practice of emotional health therapy based on the Internet of Things.
