Beat Tracking

Description from the archive archive 2025-07-28.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

15 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 15 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted. 10 shown of 15 until expanded.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.

Libraries

Not in the archive: the export carries no per-task library table, so there is nothing to show at snapshot 2025-07-28.

Most implemented papers archive 2025-07-28

13 shown of 13 papers with code (19 tagged with this task in all), ordered by repositories listed in the archive, not by stars (the archive holds no stars, so PwC's “Social” and “Latest” sorts cannot be reproduced). Papers without a page here are shown as plain text.

• Exploring GPT's Ability as a Judge in Music Understanding
  22 Jan 2025 1 repository listed
  We convert the music data to symbolic inputs and evaluate LLMs' ability in detecting annotation errors in three key MIR tasks: beat tracking, chord extraction, and key estimation.
• Beat this! Accurate beat tracking without DBN postprocessing
  31 Jul 2024 1 repository listed
  We propose a system for tracking beats and downbeats with two objectives: generality across a diverse music range, and high accuracy.
• Local Periodicity-Based Beat Tracking for Expressive Classical Piano Music
  20 Aug 2023 1 repository listed
  To model the periodicity of beats, state-of-the-art beat tracking systems use "post-processing trackers" (PPTs) that rely on several empirically determined global assumptions for tempo transition, which work well for…
• MusicLDM: Enhancing Novelty in Text-to-Music Generation Using Beat-Synchronous Mixup Strategies
  3 Aug 2023 1 repository listed Syntology ran 9 of 14 samples · 5 unverified · 14 pointer-only (licence)
  Diffusion models have shown promising results in cross-modal generation tasks, including text-to-image and text-to-audio generation.
• Zero-note samba: Self-supervised beat tracking
  21 Jul 2023 1 repository listed
  Supervised machine learning for music information retrieval requires a large annotated training set, and is thus an expensive and time-consuming process.
• An Analysis Method for Metric-Level Switching in Beat Tracking
  13 Oct 2022 1 repository listed
  For expressive music, the tempo may change over time, posing challenges to tracking the beats by an automatic model.
• JukeDrummer: Conditional Beat-aware Audio-domain Drum Accompaniment Generation via Transformer VQ-VAE
  12 Oct 2022 1 repository listed
  Instead of generating the drum track directly as waveforms, we use a separate VQ-VAE to encode the mel-spectrogram of a drum track into another set of discrete codes, and train the Transformer to predict the sequence of…
• Singing Beat Tracking With Self-supervised Front-end and Linear Transformers
  31 Aug 2022 1 repository listed
  Tracking beats of singing voices without the presence of musical accompaniment can find many applications in music production, automatic song arrangement, and social media interaction.
• Don't look back: an online beat tracking method using RNN and enhanced particle filtering
  5 Nov 2020 1 repository listed
  Most preexisting OBT methods either apply some offline approaches to a moving window containing past data to make predictions about future beat positions or must be primed with past data at startup to initialize.
• Shift If You Can: Counting and Visualising Correction Operations for Beat Tracking Evaluation
  3 Nov 2020 1 repository listed
  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…
• Temporally Guided Music-to-Body-Movement Generation
  17 Sep 2020 1 repository listed
  This paper presents a neural network model to generate virtual violinist's 3-D skeleton movements from music audio.
• A holistic approach to polyphonic music transcription with neural networks
  26 Oct 2019 1 repository listed
  We present a framework based on neural networks to extract music scores directly from polyphonic audio in an end-to-end fashion.
• OBTAIN: Real-Time Beat Tracking in Audio Signals
  7 Apr 2017 1 repository listed
  In this paper, we design a system in order to perform the real-time beat tracking for an audio signal.

Syntology lines on 1 of the papers shown; no Syntology record for the others (a paper without an arXiv id cannot be joined to the graph, and absence from the graph layer is not a recorded non-run). “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized fixture, not that the paper's result was reproduced.
