Shift If You Can: Counting and Visualising Correction Operations for Beat Tracking Evaluation

In this late-breaking abstract we propose a modified approach for beat tracking evaluation which poses the problem in terms of the effort required to transform a sequence of beat detections such that they maximise the well-known F-measure calculation when compared to a sequence of ground truth annotations. Central to our approach is the inclusion of a shifting operation conducted over an additional, larger, tolerance window, which can substitute the combination of insertions and deletions. We describe a straightforward calculation of annotation efficiency and combine this with an informative visualisation which can be of use for the qualitative evaluation of beat tracking systems. We make our implementation and visualisation code freely available in a GitHub repository.
