Distinguishing AI-Generated Music from Edited Audio as a Hard-Negative Robustness Task

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.14916v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI-generated music detectors are commonly evaluated against original songs, but real-world uploads are often remixed, re-encoded, pitch-shifted, or otherwise edited. These edited versions form a difficult negative class: they are not generated by AI, yet they may introduce spectral artifacts that resemble synthetic audio fingerprints. We study this problem as a hard-negative robustness setting for AI-generated music detection, focusing on AI-gene
