AI music generation has rapidly advanced alongside commercial platforms, raising the need for reliable watermarking for provenance and attribution. However, existing audio watermarking research has largely focused on speech, and applying speech-oriented methods to music is challenging due to music's complex structure and rich acoustic texture.
Audio watermarking aims to embed identifiable information into audio while remaining imperceptible. Existing methods adopt high-fidelity, low-energy designs to preserve perceptual quality, but the resulting watermarks lack robustness under suppression by speech reconstruction models.

arXiv:2608. 10166v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Digital watermarking has emerged as a critical technique for provenance and copyright attribution in AI-generated imagery, yet its robustness against realistic, model-agnostic removal attacks remains poorly explored.
Neural audio codecs are a key component of speech processing pipelines, compressing audio into discrete tokens for downstream modeling. However, existing codecs struggle to balance reconstruction quality with token efficiency, often encoding perceptually irrelevant information such as background noise and recording artifacts at the expense of linguistically and acoustically meaningful content.
arXiv:2608. 09593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in speech synthesis and audio generation have made high-fidelity acoustic forgery low-cost and difficult to attribute, enabling a realistic attack scenario in which speech and background audio are independently manipulated over otherwise authentic video.
Existing watermark attacks typically rely on predefined signal-processing operations or locally constrained restoration networks, making it difficult to capture the long-range dependencies of globally distributed watermark signals and resulting in an unfavorable trade-off between removal effectiveness and visual fidelity. In this paper, we propose SPFM-Net, a semantic-prior-guided and frequency-constrained Mamba framework for invisible watermark attack.
arXiv:2602. 15491v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural audio codecs (NACs) typically encode the short-term energy (gain) and normalized structure (shape) of speech/audio signals jointly within the same latent space.
arXiv:2607. 03806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio foundation models are widely adopted as general-purpose feature extractors, yet the internal structure of their learned representations remains insufficiently understood.

arXiv:2606. 23335v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Provenance watermarking is increasingly treated as a safeguard for synthetic speech, whether built directly into speech-generation models such as Chatterbox, provided through dedicated techniques such as AudioSeal, or deployed by commercial platforms such as ElevenLabs.
