The same problem occurs when only considering rhythms. In this paper, we introduce a generative model for rhythms based on the distributions of distances between subsequences. A specific implementation of the model when considering Hamming distances over a simple rhythm representation is described. The proposed model consistently outperforms a standard Hidden Markov Model in terms of conditional prediction accuracy on two different music databases.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2007/paiement-idiap-rr-07-70.pdf}, postscript = {ftp://ftp.idiap.ch/pub/reports/2007/paiement-idiap-rr-07-70.ps.gz}, ipdmembership={learning}, }
