Claims

  1. A simple template-based chord recognizer produces many random-like chord changes.
    "This leads to many random-like chord changes when using a simple template-based chord recognizer."

  2. Hidden Markov models improve on frame-by-frame template matching through their transition model: with high self-transition probabilities, the recognizer tends to stay on the current chord, which smooths the output.
    "In the case of high self-transition probabilities, a chord recognizer tends to stay in the current chord rather than change to another one, which can be regarded as a kind of smoothing."
