Spot, Separate, and Enhance (SSE) is a multimodal, user‑guided generative model for audio remixing and enhancement. It rebalances audio, removes unwanted sources, and reduces reverberation using video and textual guidance. The authors introduce the DegradedMix dataset and adopt generative evaluation metrics, showing SSE outperforms existing baselines in controllability and remixing quality.

The paper introduces a new task called video object segmentation‑aware audio generation, which conditions sound synthesis on object‑level segmentation maps. It presents SAGANet, a multimodal generative model that uses visual segmentation masks, video, and textual cues to produce controllable audio for musical instruments, offering fine‑grained, visually localized control. The authors also release the Segmented Music Solos dataset of instrument performance videos with segmentation information to support this task and demonstrate that SAGANet outperforms current state‑of‑the‑art methods in controllable, high‑fidelity Foley synthesis.
