Beat this! Accurate beat tracking without DBN postprocessing
read the original abstract
We propose a system for tracking beats and downbeats with two objectives: generality across a diverse music range, and high accuracy. We achieve generality by training on multiple datasets -- including solo instrument recordings, pieces with time signature changes, and classical music with high tempo variations -- and by removing the commonly used Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) postprocessing, which introduces constraints on the meter and tempo. For high accuracy, among other improvements, we develop a loss function tolerant to small time shifts of annotations, and an architecture alternating convolutions with transformers either over frequency or time. Our system surpasses the current state of the art in F1 score despite using no DBN. However, it can still fail, especially for difficult and underrepresented genres, and performs worse on continuity metrics, so we publish our model, code, and preprocessed datasets, and invite others to beat this.

The SMC Blind Spot: A Failure Mode Analysis of State-of-the-Art Beat Tracking
State-of-the-art beat trackers fail on SMC tracks via octave errors, continuity errors, and complete failures, with the DBN's 55 BPM minimum forcing double-tempo predictions on 21% of slow tracks.
