SMC Beat tracking Dataset
This beat tracking dataset contains 217 excerpts around 40s each, of which 19 are easy and the remaining 198 are hard. This dataset has been designed for radically new techniques which can contend with challenging beat tracking situations like: quiet accompaniment, expressive timing, changes in time signature, slow tempo, poor sound quality etc. More details in Selective Sampling for Beat Tracking Evaluation
