Automatic rhythm transcription from multiphonic MIDI signals

For automatically transcribing human-performed polyphonic music recorded in the MIDI format, rhythm and tempo are decomposed through probabilistic modeling using Viterbi search in HMM for recognizing the rhythm and EM Algorithm for estimating the tempo. Experimental evaluation are also presented.
