This work addresses the problem of precise rhythm prediction for applications like music generation, representing an incremental improvement in domain-specific time series forecasting.
The paper tackles the problem of predicting periodic time series, specifically for generating musical rhythm, by introducing a novel reservoir computing architecture with parameter matrices c and k and a dynamic selection mechanism. The model achieves accurate predictions within human frequency perception range, showing superior performance compared to conventional models through experimental results.
This paper introduces a novel approach to predicting periodic time series using reservoir computing. The model is tailored to deliver precise forecasts of rhythms, a crucial aspect for tasks such as generating musical rhythm. Leveraging reservoir computing, our proposed method is ultimately oriented towards predicting human perception of rhythm. Our network accurately predicts rhythmic signals within the human frequency perception range. The model architecture incorporates primary and intermediate neurons tasked with capturing and transmitting rhythmic information. Two parameter matrices, denoted as c and k, regulate the reservoir's overall dynamics. We propose a loss function to adapt c post-training and introduce a dynamic selection (DS) mechanism that adjusts $k$ to focus on areas with outstanding contributions. Experimental results on a diverse test set showcase accurate predictions, further improved through real-time tuning of the reservoir via c and k. Comparative assessments highlight its superior performance compared to conventional models.
