/**
 * A ModelTransformer turns one data model into another.
 *
 * Typically in this application, a ModelTransformer might have a
 * DenseTimeValueModel as its input (e.g. an audio waveform) and a
 * SparseOneDimensionalModel (e.g. detected beats) as its output.
 *
 * The ModelTransformer typically runs in the background, as a
 * separate thread populating the output model.  The model is
 * available to the user of the ModelTransformer immediately, but may
 * be initially empty until the background thread has populated it.
