Shift If You Can: Counting and Visualising Correction Operations for Beat Tracking Evaluation

In this late-breaking abstract we propose a modified approach for beat tracking evaluation which poses the problem in terms of the effort required to transform a sequence of beat detections such that they maximise the well-known F-measure calculation when compared to a sequence of ground truth annotations. Central to our approach is the inclusion of a shifting operation conducted over an additional, larger, tolerance window, which can substitute the combination of insertions and deletions...
We describe a straightforward calculation of annotation efficiency and combine this with an informative visualisation which can be of use for the
