Abstract

The aim of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of various computational intelligence approaches applied to the task of retrieving musical rhythm from musical symbolic files. The study presented in this paper describes how Artificial Neural Networks and Rough Sets can be used for searching the metric structure of musical files. The described approaches are based on examining physical attributes of sound that are most significant in determining the placement of a particular sound in the accented location of a musical piece. The results of the experiments show that the approach based solely on duration is sufficient enough to retrieve the metric structure of rhythm from musical files.
