A Positive-Evidence Model for Rhythmical Beat Induction

نویسنده

  • Douglas Eck
چکیده

The Normalized Positive (NPOS) model is a rule-based model that predicts downbeat location and pattern complexity in rhythmical patterns. Though derived from several existing models, the NPOS model is particularly effective at making correct predictions while at the same time having low complexity. In this paper, the details of the model are explored and a comparison is made to existing models. Several datasets are used to examine the complexity predictions of the model. Special attention is paid to the model’s ability to account for the effects of musical experience on beat induction.

Finding downbeats with a relaxation oscillator.

A relaxation oscillator model of neural spiking dynamics is applied to the task of finding downbeats in rhythmical patterns. The importance of downbeat discovery or 'beat induction' is discussed, and the relaxation oscillator model is compared to other oscillator models. In a set of computer simulations the model is tested on 35 rhythmical patterns. The model performs well, making good predicti...

A Network of Relaxation Oscillators that Finds Downbeats in Rhythms

A network of relaxation oscillators is used to find downbeats in rhythmical patterns. In this study, a novel model is described in detail. Its behavior is tested by exposing it to patterns having various levels of rhythmic complexity. We analyze the performance of the model and relate its success to previous work dealing with fast synchrony in coupled oscillators. 1 Downbeat Induction The term ...

Mirex 2012 Audio Beat Tracking Evaluation: Beat.e

In this paper, we present a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based beat tracking system that simultaneously extracts downbeats, beat times, tempo, meter and rhythmic patterns. Our model builds upon the basic structure proposed by Whiteley et. al [9], which we further modified by introducing a new observation model: rhythmic patterns are learned directly from data, which makes the model adaptable to th...

Strictly Rhythm: Exploring the Effects of Identical Regions and Meter Induction in Rhythmic Similarity Perception

This paper is inspired in the ideas of rhythmical variation and evolution, which are connected to similarity and contrast. Two experiments on rhythm similarity are presented that examine the possible relations between objective metrics and human similarity ratings. We wanted to test the possible differences in similarity ratings when a beat was induced and when it was not. The experimental desi...

Meter through Synchrony: Processing Rhythmical Patterns with Relaxation Oscillators

Even the least musical among us can tap our feet to the radio without much effort. In fact this happens remarkably quickly and effortlessly; after just a few seconds of hearing a new song, a sense of movement takes hold and what was before a series of disconnected sounds now seems whole. This kind of perceptual organization—called pulse in music theory—underpins our sense of music by providing ...
