SAGE: Semantic Audio Generative Encoder

Francesco Brigante, Luca Cerovaz, Davide Marincione +4

Audio autoencoders compress waveforms into compact latent representations that serve as the interface between raw audio and downstream models. Current systems navigate a three-way…

Subliminal Clocks: Latent Time Modelling in Diffusion Language Models

Maximo Eduardo Rulli, Thomas Vaitses Fontanari, Simone Petruzzi +9

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive models. Unlike standard diffusion-based approaches, DLMs are not explicitly cond…

How Neural Losses Shape VAE Latents

Giorgio Strano, Luca Cerovaz, Michele Mancusi +2

Modern VAEs are rarely trained with the pointwise likelihood implied by the standard -VAE objective. In practice, pointwise reconstruction is often combined with perceptual and…

Membership and Dataset Inference Attacks on Large Audio Generative Models

Jakub Proboszcz, Paweł Kochanski, Karol Korszun +5

Generative audio models, based on diffusion and autoregressive architectures, have advanced rapidly in both quality and expressiveness. This progress, however, raises pressing copy…

STAGE: Stemmed Accompaniment Generation through Prefix-Based Conditioning

Giorgio Strano, Chiara Ballanti, Donato Crisostomi +3

Recent advances in generative models have made it possible to create high-quality, coherent music, with some systems delivering production-level output. Yet, most existing models f…

Activation Patching for Interpretable Steering in Music Generation

Simone Facchiano, Giorgio Strano, Donato Crisostomi +4

Understanding how large audio models represent music, and using that understanding to steer generation, is both challenging and underexplored. Inspired by mechanistic interpretabil…

LoopGen: Training-Free Loopable Music Generation

Davide Marincione, Giorgio Strano, Donato Crisostomi +2

Loops--short audio segments designed for seamless repetition--are central to many music genres, particularly those rooted in dance and electronic styles. However, current generativ…
