-Chordino is an open source Vamp plugin library for harmony and chord
-extraction with some features aimed at amateur musicians, and some at
-music information retrieval researchers.

-of London since late 2010. A related method was submitted to MIREX in
-2010 by Matthias Mauch\cite{mauch:md1:2010}. We are now preparing and

 \section{Introduction}\label{sec:introduction}
 
-describe vamp\ldots
-describe rationale supporting submission\ldots
+The Vamp plugin format\footnote{http://vamp-plugins.org/} was
+developed at the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) at Queen Mary,
+University of London, during 2005-2006 in response to a desire to
+publish work in a form that would be immediately useful to people
+outside this research field. The Vamp plugin format was published with
+an open source SDK, alongside the Sonic
+Visualiser~\cite{sonicvisualise2010} audio analysis application which
+provided a useful host for Vamp plugins.
 
-\section{Audio Beat Tracking}
+In subsequent years the Vamp format has become a moderately popular
+means of distributing methods from the Centre and other research
+groups. Some dozens of Vamp plugins are now available from groups such
+as the Music Technology Group at UPF in Barcelona, the Sound and Music
+Computing group at INESC in Porto, the BBC, and others, as well as
+from the Centre for Digital Music.
 
-\subsection{Tempo and Beat Tracker}
+The plugins submitted for this evaluation are provided as a set of
+library files. Those with names starting ``QM'' are all provided in a
+single library file, the QM Vamp Plugins set, made available in binary
+form for Windows, OS/X, and Linux from the Centre for Digital Music's
+download
+page\footnote{http://vamp-plugins.org/plugin-doc/qm-vamp-plugins.html}. All
+of these plugins are open-source, and source is available through the
+SoundSoftware code
+site\footnote{http://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/qm-vamp-plugins}. These
+plugins come from a number of authors who are credited in this
+abstract and in the plugins' accompanying documentation.
 
-The Tempo and Beat Tracker\cite{matthew2007a} VAMP plugin analyses a single channel of audio and estimates the positions of metrical beats within the music (the equivalent of a human listener tapping their foot to the beat).
+In addition to the QM Vamp Plugins set, this submission contains a
+number of individual plugins: the Chordino and Segmentino plugins from
+Matthias Mauch; the BeatRoot Vamp Plugin from Simon Dixon; OnsetsDS
+from Dan Stowell; and a Cepstral Pitch Tracker Plugin from Chris
+Cannam.
 
-The Tempo and Beat Tracker Vamp plugin was written by Matthew Davies and Christian Landone.

+\subsubsection{QM Tempo and Beat Tracker}
+\label{tempo_and_beat_tracker}
 
-[Need reference]
+The QM Tempo and Beat Tracker\cite{matthew2007a} Vamp plugin analyses
+a single channel of audio and estimates the positions of metrical
+beats within the music.
 
-The Key Detector VAMP pluginanalyses a single channel of audio and continuously estimates the key of the music by comparing the degree to which a block-by-block chromagram correlates to the stored key profiles for each major and minor key.
+This plugin uses the complex-domain onset detection method from~\cite{chris2003a} with a hybrid of the two-state beat tracking model
+proposed in~\cite{matthew2007a} and a dynamic programming method based
+on~\cite{ellis2007}. 
 
-The key profiles are drawn from analysis of Book I of the Well Tempered Klavier by J S Bach, recorded at A=440 equal temperament.
+To identify the tempo, the onset detection function is partitioned
+into 6-second frames with a 1.5-second increment. The autocorrelation
+function of each 6-second onset detection function is found and this
+is then passed through a perceptually weighted comb
+filterbank\cite{matthew2007a}. The successive comb filterbank output
+signals are grouped together into a matrix of observations of
+periodicity through time. The best path of periodicity through these
+observations is found using the Viterbi algorithm, where the
+transition matrix is defined as a diagonal Gaussian.
 
-The Key Detector Vamp plugin was written by Katy Noland and Christian Landone.
+Given the estimates of periodicity, the beat locations are recovered
+by applying the dynamic programming algorithm\cite{ellis2007}. This
+process involves the calculation of a recursive cumulative score
+function and backtrace signal. The cumulative score indicates the
+likelihood of a beat existing at each sample of the onset detection
+function input, and the backtrace gives the location of the best
+previous beat given this point in time. Once the cumulative score and
+backtrace have been calculated for the whole input signal, the best
+path through beat locations is found by recursively sampling the
+backtrace signal from the end of the input signal back to the
+beginning.

+The QM Tempo and Beat Tracker plugin was written by Matthew
+Davies and Christian Landone.
+
+\subsubsection{BeatRoot}
+
+The BeatRoot Vamp plugin is an open source Vamp plugin library that
+implements the BeatRoot beat-tracking method of Simon
+Dixon\cite{simon2001a}. The BeatRoot algorithm has been submitted to
+MIREX evaluation in earlier years\cite{simon2006a}; this plugin
+consists of the most recent BeatRoot code release, converted from Java
+to C++ and modified for plugin format.
+
+The BeatRoot plugin was written by Simon Dixon and Chris Cannam.
+
+\subsection{Audio Key Detection}
+
+\subsubsection{QM Key Detector}
+
+The QM Key Detector Vamp plugin continuously estimates the key of the
+music by comparing the degree to which a block-by-block chromagram
+correlates to stored key profiles for each major and minor key.
+
+This plugin uses the correlation method described in~\cite{krumhansl1990} and~\cite{gomez2006}, but using different tone
+profiles. The key profiles used in this implementation are drawn from
+analysis of Book I of the Well Tempered Klavier by J S Bach, recorded
+at A=440 equal temperament, as described in~\cite{noland2007signal}.
+
+The QM Key Detector plugin was written by Katy Noland and
+Christian Landone.
+
+\subsection{Audio Chord Extraction}
+
+\subsubsection{Chordino}
+
+The Chordino plugin was developed following Mauch's 2010 work on chord
+extraction, submitted to MIREX in that
+year\cite{mauch:md1:2010}. While that submission used a C++ chroma
+implementation with a MATLAB dynamic Bayesian network as a chord
+extraction front-end\cite{matthias2010a}, Chordino is an entirely C++
+implementation that was developed specifically to be made freely
+available as an open-source plugin for general use.
+
+The method for the Chordino plugin has two parts:
+
+{\bf NNLS Chroma} --- NNLS Chroma analyses a single channel of audio
+using frame-wise spectral input from the Vamp host. The spectrum is
+transformed to a log-frequency spectrum (constant-Q) with three bins
+per semitone. On this representation, two processing steps are
+performed: tuning, after which each centre bin (i.e. bin 2, 5, 8, …)
+corresponds to a semitone, even if the tuning of the piece deviates
+from 440 Hz standard pitch; and running standardisation: subtraction
+of the running mean, division by the running standard deviation. This
+has a spectral whitening effect.
+
+The processed log-frequency spectrum is then used as an input for NNLS
+approximate transcription using a dictionary of harmonic notes with
+geometrically decaying harmonics magnitudes. The output of the NNLS
+approximate transcription is semitone-spaced. To get the chroma, this
+semitone spectrum is multiplied (element-wise) with the desired
+profile (chroma or bass chroma) and then mapped to 12 bins.
+
+{\bf Chord transcription} --- A fixed dictionary of chord profiles is
+used to calculate frame-wise chord similarities. A standard
+HMM/Viterbi approach is used to smooth these to provide a chord
+transcription.
+
+Chordino was written by Matthias Mauch.
+
+\subsection{Audio Melody Extraction}
+
+\subsubsection{Cepstral Pitch Tracker}
+
+The Cepstral Pitch Tracker Vamp Plugin is an open source Vamp plugin
+implementation of a monophonic pitch tracking and note segmentation
+method.
+
+The method is that described in the one-page handout ``Unit Testing:
+An audio research example'' accompanying our tutorial at DAFx
+2012\cite{chris2012a}. It is an agent system, in which agents are used
+to evaluate successive pitch peaks to test whether they can be
+combined to form a plausible note. The peaks are obtained from an
+interpolating peak finder applied to the cepstral transform (inverse
+FFT of the log magnitude spectrum) of the short-time Fourier transform
+of each input frame. An agent-management system supplies the pitches
+to agents, creates a new agent when a novel pitch is found, reaps any
+agents that expire without finding a plausible note, and accumulates
+the resulting valid notes.
+
+The Cepstral Pitch Tracker plugin was written by Chris Cannam.
+
+\subsection{Audio Onset Detection}
+
+\subsubsection{QM Note Onset Detector}
+
+The QM Note Onset Detector Vamp plugin estimates the onset times of
+notes within the music. It calculates an onset likelihood function for
+each spectral frame, and picks peaks in a smoothed version of this
+function.
+
+Several onset detection functions are available in this plugin; this
+submission uses the complex-domain method described
+in~\cite{chris2003a}.
+
+The QM Note Onset Detector plugin was written by Chris Duxbury, Juan
+Pablo Bello and Christian Landone.
+
+\subsubsection{OnsetsDS}
+
+OnsetsDS is an onset detector plugin wrapping Dan Stowell's OnsetsDS
+library\footnote{http://onsetsds.sourceforge.net/}, described
+in~\cite{dan2007a}.
+
+OnsetsDS was designed to provide an FFT-based onset detection that
+works very efficiently in real-time, with a fast reaction time. It is
+not tailored for non-real-time use or for any particular type of
+signal.
+
+The OnsetsDS plugin was written by Dan Stowell and Chris Cannam.
+
+\subsection{Audio Structural Segmentation}
+
+\subsubsection{QM Segmenter}
+
+The QM Segmenter Vamp plugin divides a single channel of music up into
+structurally consistent segments.
+
+The method, described in~\cite{mark2008a}, relies upon timbral or
+pitch similarity to obtain the high-level song structure. This is
+based on the assumption that the distributions of timbre features are
+similar over corresponding structural elements of the music.
+
+The input feature is a frequency-domain representation of the audio
+signal, in this case using a Constant-Q transform for the underlying
+features (though the plugin supports other timbral and pitch
+features). The extracted features are normalised in accordance with
+the MPEG-7 standard (NASE descriptor), and the value of this envelope
+is stored for each processing block of audio. This is followed by the
+extraction of 20 principal components per block using PCA, yielding a
+sequence of 21 dimensional feature vectors where the last element in
+each vector corresponds to the energy envelope.
+
+A 40-state Hidden Markov Model is then trained on the whole sequence
+of features, with each state corresponding to a specific timbre
+type. This partitions the timbre-space of a given track into 40
+possible types. After training and decoding the HMM, the song is
+assigned a sequence of timbre-features according to specific
+timbre-type distributions for each possible structural segment.
+
+The segmentation itself is computed by clustering timbre-type
+histograms. A series of histograms are created over a sliding window
+which are grouped into M clusters by an adapted soft k-means
+algorithm.  Reference histograms, iteratively updated during
+clustering, describe the timbre distribution for each segment. The
+segmentation arises from the final cluster assignments.
+
+The QM Segmenter plugin was written by Mark Levy.
+
+\subsubsection{Segmentino}
+
+The Segmentino plugin is a new C++ implementation of a segmentation
+method first described in Matthias Mauch's paper on using musical
+structure to enhance chord transcription\cite{matthias2009a} and
+expanded on in Mauch's PhD thesis\cite{matthiasphd}.
+
+A beat-quantised chroma representation is used to calculate pair-wise
+similarities between beats (really: beat ``shingles'', i.e.\ multi-beat
+vectors). Based on this first similarity calculation, an exhaustive
+comparison of all possible segments of reasonable length in beats is
+executed, and segments are added to form segment families if they are
+sufficiently similar to another ``family member''. Having accumulated a
+lot of families, the families are rated, and the one with the highest
+score is used as the first segmentation group that gets
+annotated. This last step is repeated until no more families fit the
+remaining ``holes'' in the song that haven't already been assigned to a
+segment.
+
+This method was developed for ``classic rock'' music, and therefore
+assumes a few characteristics that are not necessarily found in other
+music: repetition of harmonic sequences in the music that coincide
+with structural segments in a song; a steady beat; segments of a
+certain length; corresponding segments have the same length in
+beats.
+
+The Segmentino plugin was written by Matthias Mauch and Massimiliano
+Zanoni. It is currently in preparation for a public release.
+
+\subsection{Audio Tempo Estimation}
+
+For this task we submit the same plugin as that used in the Audio Beat
+Tracking task in section~\ref{tempo_and_beat_tracker}.
