I am currently working on a project where a Classical Music Generator is set to be built. A lecturer who is pretty much a expert in sound processing suggested that I could construct a Hidden Markov Model which will generate and return compositions.
There are already 80+ MIDI files from various renowned composers (Mozart, Bach, Beethoven...) in my computer ready for training. I just wonder will Pure Data be a suitable language for constructing HHM(s) which will finally return a generated music piece, from some MIDI inputs?
And if yes, any advice on how to utilise those MIDIs and put them into pieces for the HHM?
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at this library. It has HMM and a number of other machine learning algorithms that you could use.

You can also use HMM for signal related tasks. There is a paper here that you may find informative:

I understand that Chisel is a HDL/HCL language to overcome some of Verilog/SystemVerilog restrictions by using higher abstraction level.
And it is open source as well.
It might be a bit naive and presumptuous, but still I would like to ask.
My question is that why do so many similar efforts are working in parallel, e.g. Blusspec, spinalHDL, Pyha etc?
I mean, is there any reason why the development community may not choose one of these and concentrate efforts on stabilizing or enhancing one of these.
That's exactly what is happening now, it just takes a while to choose.
Although the past does not show that the best technology wins, let us hope it does this time.

as the title suggests, I am trying to determine which language would better suit for the task at hand. I am probably going to include a GUI for the program. Am I okay to proceed with Java for this task or is another language recommended? Thanks
I can't speak on the pros or cons of writing such a program in C++. However, Java seems well suited to accomplish your task.

While my common sense says "Yeah. Duh.", I thought I read something somewhere long long ago that referenced the ability to use different programming languages in harmony and wondered if something like that applied here.
IE, if a game engine is written in C++, but the game I'm developing has been written in C#/XNA, can that game engine be utilized for this game?
Usually the language you use to write game engines aims for efficiency and speed. The language you use to write games aims for simplicity and expressiveness. So, it totally makes sense to use a different language for each purpose.
How they will work together is a different story. Usually, the engine's API will be given a convenient interface to be used in the game "scripting" language, so the latter will interact with the engine through successive API calls. The "heavy lifting" will be all done by the engine though...

I am involved in a project which is meant to eventually become open-source and have a code contributor community. Is there any "right" way of doing this and what should/can I expect?
Thanks
There's a pretty good book on this topic, Producing Open Source Software by Karl Fogel, which is available for free online or in dead tree form if you prefer to read it that way. It would be hard to expand much on it in a single answer. Every project will, of course, be different, so I'd recommend reading that book, and then asking more specific questions about your particular project; answers will depend on the language and platform you use, how active an open source community there already is in your area, what your business model is, and many other factors.
I would recommand using Github or Google Project Hosting (subversion/mercurial), and of course use social media network to promote the project helps too.
You can start something like this - http://wxwidgets.org/develop/

Upon reading a blog post about a minimalist story-generating python program, I was asking myself - and you - which are the most successful attempts at such programs. I remember seeing something using generating grammars, for instance. And which are the best attempts that, like this one, are extremely compact, either self-contained or able to read, say, the Web or an independent textual corpus (but not simply a file with a large number of story chunks)?
Search for Talespin for some famous ground breaking work. (Example: Micro-Talespin in Common Lisp by Warren Sack.)
I actually like Turner's "Minstrel: A Computer Model of Creativity and Storytelling" better :
ftp://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/tech-report/1992-reports/920057.pdf
Talespin is, in my opinion, blind in it's algorithm to everything but planning. So the author goals are given very little consideration (if at all). Minstrel is better that way.
