Abstract

Common temporal models for automatic chord recognition model chord changes on\na frame-wise basis. Due to this fact, they are unable to capture musical\nknowledge about chord progressions. In this paper, we propose a temporal model\nthat enables explicit modelling of chord changes and durations. We then apply\nN-gram models and a neural-network-based acoustic model within this framework,\nand evaluate the effect of model overconfidence. Our results show that model\noverconfidence plays only a minor role (but target smoothing still improves the\nacoustic model), and that stronger chord language models do improve recognition\nresults, however their effects are small compared to other domains.\n
