         TOWARDS CHARACTERISATION OF MUSIC VIA RHYTMIC PATTERNS


   A central problem in music information retrieval is finding
   suitable representations which enable efficient and accurate
   computation of musical similarity and identity.

   Many aspects of music can only be captured by considering high
   level features. In this work, bar-length rhythmic patterns are
   automatically extracted from the audio signal and used as
   features for genre classification.  Standard classification
   algorithms are utilised to discriminate 8 classes of Standard
   and Latin ballroom dance music with a classification rate of
   up to 96%.
