Title: SELF-ADJUSTING BEAT DETECTION AND PREDICTION IN MUSIC
Authors: Robert Harper; University of Waterloo 
 Ed Jernigan; University of Waterloo 
Abstract: This paper proposes a new approach to beat detection and prediction in music. Recurrent timing networks are used to detect and predict periodicities in an onset stream and are contained within nodes that compete for selection as the best beat hypothesis. Beat prediction nodes perform period self-adjustment to better represent the detected music beat period. The system is tested using a variety of music from different genres and shows promise, in many cases with high correct beat detection percentages.
