• Title: Exploring Musical Roots: Applying Audio Embeddings to Empower Influence Attribution for a Generative Music Model
• Authors: Julia Barnett, Hugo Flores Garcia, Bryan Pardo
• Abstract summary: We develop a methodology to identify similar pieces of music audio in a manner that is useful for understanding training data attribution. We compare the effect of applying CLMR and CLAP embeddings to similarity measurement in a set of 5 million audio clips used to train VampNet. This work is to incorporate automated influence attribution into generative modeling, which promises to let model creators and users move from ignorant appropriation to informed creation.

• Abstract: Every artist has a creative process that draws inspiration from previous artists and their works. Today, "inspiration" has been automated by generative music models. The black box nature of these models obscures the identity of the works that influence their creative output. As a result, users may inadvertently appropriate, misuse, or copy existing artists' works. We establish a replicable methodology to systematically identify similar pieces of music audio in a manner that is useful for understanding training data attribution. A key aspect of our approach is to harness an effective music audio similarity measure. We compare the effect of applying CLMR and CLAP embeddings to similarity measurement in a set of 5 million audio clips used to train VampNet, a recent open source generative music model. We validate this approach with a human listening study. We also explore the effect that modifications of an audio example (e.g., pitch shifting, time stretching, background noise) have on similarity measurements. This work is foundational to incorporating automated influence attribution into generative modeling, which promises to let model creators and users move from ignorant appropriation to informed creation.

• Combining audio control and style transfer using latent diffusion [1.705371629600151]
  In this paper, we aim to unify explicit control and style transfer within a single model. Our model can generate audio matching a timbre target, while specifying structure either with explicit controls or through another audio example. We show that our method can generate cover versions of complete musical pieces by transferring rhythmic and melodic content to the style of a target audio in a different genre.

  We are inspired by how musicians compose music not just from a movie script, but also through visualizations. We propose MeLFusion, a model that can effectively use cues from a textual description and the corresponding image to synthesize music. Our exhaustive experimental evaluation suggests that adding visual information to the music synthesis pipeline significantly improves the quality of generated music.

  We present an alternative paradigm for producing music generation models that can listen and respond to musical context. We describe how such a model can be constructed using a non-autoregressive, transformer-based model architecture. The resulting model reaches the audio quality of state-of-the-art text-conditioned models, as well as exhibiting strong musical coherence with its context.

  LyricJam Sonic is a novel tool for musicians to rediscover previous recordings, re-contextualize them with other recordings, and create original live music compositions in real-time. A bi-modal AI-driven approach uses generated lyric lines to find matching audio clips from the artist's past studio recordings. The intent is to keep the artists in a state of creative flow to music creation rather than taking them into an analytical/critical state of deliberately searching for past audio segments.
