TrueMuse is a new benchmark designed to evaluate data attribution in text-to-music models. It consists of a controlled dataset created by fine‑tuning three diffusion‑based models on curated attribution samples, providing known attribution targets. The benchmark covers four settings—melodic structure, timbral characteristics, artist‑level style, and genre‑level patterns—across 133 attributes, 648 models, and 95,456 generated samples, and is used to assess existing black‑box attribution methods along several dimensions.

arXiv:2603. 14372v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The rise of AI amplifies the economic phenomenon of \emph{positive spillovers}: when creators contribute content that can be reused and adapted by LLMs, one creator's effort may improve the content quality of others through recombination.

The paper introduces the MATCHA dataset, comprising 1,105 perceptual assessments from 83 experts on attribute-based music matches across five musical attributes—melody, harmony, rhythm, voice, and timbre. A triplet-based forced-choice experiment with 300 cases, including plagiarism, cover songs, and AI-generated music, was used to gather these judgments. Results show measurable agreement among participants and partial alignment with computational similarity measures, highlighting the need for perceptually grounded evaluation in generative AI for music.

The paper argues that feature attribution scores for generative language models lack a fixed meaning because each generated token is both output and input, leading to multiple distinct explanatory questions. It introduces the Attribution Contract framework, which explicitly defines the model score, fixed variables, target output, generation process, and eligible features, showing how these choices affect attribution outcomes. Experiments demonstrate that different contracts (e.g., local next-token vs. prompt-level) and model architectures (mixture-of-experts vs. masked-diffusion) yield markedly different attribution distributions, highlighting the need for careful contract specification.

arXiv:2601. 22276v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models are increasingly used in real-world creative workflows, a principled framework for valuing contributors who provide a collection of data is essential for fair compensation and sustainable data marketplaces.

The paper introduces CAMS, a Claim‑Anchored Multi‑Document Summarization framework that decomposes source documents into atomic claims, resolves provenance deterministically from verbatim quotes to token spans, clusters equivalent claims across documents, and rewrites summaries so each sentence ends with claim identifiers linking back to source spans. CAMS separates provenance (an invariant for each emitted sentence) from faithfulness (an objective encouraged by selection, rewriting, and verification). Evaluations on MultiNews, DiverseSumm, and zero‑shot WCEP show that CAMS matches strong baselines in summary quality while improving faithfulness and citation precision, raising attribution accuracy from 38% to 64% and reducing human verification time per claim by 3.4×.
