arXiv:2608.30125v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current video-to-music (V2M) models lack semantic control and fail to penalize instruction violations, largely due to their reliance on reconstructio...
arXiv:2607. 06856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prior work suggests that diffusion representations capture low-level geometry but struggle with high-level semantics.
arXiv:2511. 05350v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We argue that training autoencoders to reconstruct inputs from noised versions of their encodings, when combined with perceptually motivated losses, yields encodings that are structured according to a perceptual hierarchy.
arXiv:2510. 02916v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose SALSA-V, a multimodal video-to-audio generation model capable of synthesizing highly synchronized, high-fidelity long-form audio from silent video content.
The paper introduces a lightweight technique to steer the pitch content of audio generated by the Stable Audio Open diffusion model. A small convolutional probe (~125k parameters) is trained to decode frame‑level pitch‑class activations from the model’s latent space using paired audio and MIDI data. During inference, the frozen probe acts as a differentiable loss, guiding generation toward a user‑specified pitch‑class sequence without retraining the base model, and improves melodic coherence by 2.4× over the unguided baseline.
arXiv:2310.14040v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models have shown promising results for a wide range of generative tasks with continuous data, such as image and audio synthesis. H...
arXiv:2605. 01790v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A common design pattern in high-quality music generation is to handle structure and fidelity in different representation spaces: a generator first models high-level structure, followed by diffusion-based or neural decoding stages that reconstruct fine details.
arXiv:2608. 04902v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video-to-audio (V2A) generation extends image-to-audio generation (I2A) by introducing consecutive frames that provide essential temporal cues for audio synthesis.
Representation alignment has become an effective way to accelerate diffusion transformer training and improve generation quality. Recent self-alignment methods, such as SRA and Self-Flow, further remove the dependency on external pretrained encoders by constructing alignment within the diffusion model itself.
arXiv:2606. 01703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We address the challenge of generating high-fidelity, long-form soundtracks that remain coherent across scene transitions.
DuoTok is a source‑aware dual‑track music tokenizer designed for vocal‑accompaniment generation. It first learns a semantic audio representation via self‑supervised pretraining, then refines source‑aware structure with feature‑replacement noise and multi‑task supervision (spectral reconstruction, source separation regularization, and an ASR head for lyric alignment). The encoder is frozen and hard‑routed codebooks for vocals and accompaniment are learned, while a diffusion decoder restores fine acoustic detail from the discrete tokens, achieving a favorable predictability‑fidelity trade‑off at ultra‑low bitrate across public benchmarks.
arXiv:2608. 04142v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing reference-free methods for evaluating music perceptual quality alleviate the need for paired noisy-clean data, but they still rely on a background set, which is used to compute aggregated statistics of clean audio samples.
