Pattern-based Classification of Rhythms

Abstract

We present a pattern-based approach for the rhythm classification task that combines an Auto-correlation function (ACF) and Discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Rhythm hypotheses are first extracted from symbolic input data, e.g. MIDI, by the ACF. These hypotheses are analysed by the use of DFT to remove duplicates before the classification process. The classification of rhythms is performed using ACF in combination with rhythm patterns contained in a knowledge base. We evaluate this method using pre-labelled input data and discuss our results. We show that a knowledge-based approach is reasonable to address the problem of rhythm classification for symbolic data.
