I helped build the cover song alignment pipeline for "Infinite Bad Guy" http://billie.withyoutube.com/ an interactive music video that brings together thousands of YouTube covers of "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish. We just published a writeup on how we built the alignment (along with some simple tricks for estimating video similarity).

We used a bidirectional LSTM with CQT and chroma as input, and predicted the original beat for every cover beat as output. There's a bunch of existing work on this from Furkan Yesiler, Dan Ellis and others, and we're super grateful to them for advising.

Super open to feedback and critique here or in the post.
