Informatics bridges Turing-computation and interactive behaviour; examples of the latter include ubiquitous/pervasive and biological systems. But how does a model of computation fit within a model of less disciplined informatic behaviour?

One in the Jungle: Downbeat Detection in Hardcore, Jungle, and Drum and Bass

Hardcore, jungle, and drum and bass (HJDB) are fastpaced electronic dance music genres that often employ resequenced breakbeats or drum samples from jazz and funk percussionist solos. We present a style-specific method for downbeat detection specifically designed for HJDB. The presented method combines three forms of metrical information in the prediction of downbeats: lowlevel onset event info...
