TY - CONF T1 - Tracking Rests and Tempo Changes: Improved Score Following with Particle Filters T2 - Proceedings of the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) Y1 - 2013 A1 - Korzeniowski, Filip A1 - Krebs, Florian A1 - Andreas Arzt A1 - Widmer, Gerhard AB -

In this paper we present a score following system based on a Dynamic Bayesian Network, using particle filtering as inference method. The proposed model sets itself apart from existing approaches by including two new extensions: A multi-level tempo model to improve alignment quality of performances with challenging tempo changes, and an extension to reflect different expressive characteristics of notated rests. Both extensions are evaluated against a dataset of classical piano music. As the results show, the extensions improve both the accuracy and the robustness of the algorithm.
