Large-Scale Training Data Attribution for Music Generative Models via Unlearning

NeurIPS, 2025
Woosung Choi, Junghyun Koo*, Kin Wai Cheuk, Joan Serrà, Marco A. Martínez-Ramírez, Yukara Ikemiya, Naoki Murata, Yuhta Takida, Wei-Hsiang Liao, Yuki Mitsufuji

This paper explores the use of unlearning methods for training data attribution (TDA) in music generative models trained on large-scale datasets. TDA aims to identify which specific training data points contributed to the generation of a particular output from a specific mod…

Enhancing neural audio fingerprint robustness to audio degradation for music identification

ISMIR, 2025
R. Oguz Araz, Guillem Cortès-Sebastià, Emilio Molina, Joan Serrà, Xavier Serra, Yuki Mitsufuji, Dmitry Bogdanov

Audio fingerprinting (AFP) allows the identification of unknown audio content by extracting compact representations, termed audio fingerprints, that are designed to remain robust against common audio degradations. Neural AFP methods often employ metric learning, where repres…
