Beat Tracking

Beat tracking is an algorithm for automatically identifying the temporal positions of musical beats in audio recordings. It has been widely studied since the early 2000s, particularly for rhythm analysis and music synchronization applications. The problem is central to music information retrieval and essential for music-aware systems.
