Scheirer's method uses a few bandpass filters and banks of parallel comb filters to analyze tempo and extract beats causally from polyphonic audio, and can predict future beats; in a short validation it performed similarly to human listeners.
"A method is presented for using a small number of bandpass filters and banks of parallel comb filters to analyze the tempo of, and extract the beat from, musical signals of arbitrary polyphonic complexity and containing arbitrary timbres. This analysis is performed causally, and can be used predictively to guess when beats will occur in the future. Results in a short validation experiment demonstrate that the performance of the algorithm is similar to the performance of human listeners in a variety of musical situations."
