Tutorial Structure and Setup

Note

This section draws extensively from the ISMIR 2021 tutorial: Tempo, Beat, and Downbeat Estimation.

Prerequisites

Regarding prerequisites, some familiarity with running Python notebooks is recommended. However, it should also be possible to follow along by simply clicking through the examples. We’ve designed the tutorial to start with a light, non-technical introduction, followed by a discussion of key theoretical concepts related to deep learning approaches for rhythm analysis. The hands-on component forms the core of the tutorial.
