The paper addresses the challenge of detecting plagiarism in music generated by AI, noting that traditional binary notions of plagiarism are insufficient due to nuanced musical elements. It evaluates whether existing music version identification models, originally designed for human covers, can transfer to human-to-AI plagiarism detection. The authors introduce COPYCAT, a large benchmark of 350,654 pairs derived from real plagiarism cases and augmented with generative re‑synthesis and DSP obfuscations, and demonstrate that a supervised embedding‑shift approach significantly improves detection performance over simple distance thresholding.

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.
