    Dissonance Spectrum explicitly models perceptual frequency interactions for better music understanding

    Tianle Wang, Xinyi Tong, Liangke Zhao, Jishang Chen, Sirui Zhang, Haoxin Zhang, Xin Jin, Duo Xu, Xiaobing Li, Song-Chun Zhu

    cs.SD · cs.AI

    Conventional music representations describe acoustic energy over time and frequency but do not explicitly expose relations among simultaneous frequency components. We introduce the \emph{Dissonance Spectrum} (DS), a nonnegative time--frequency representation that applies a tolerance-based rational pitch-relation kernel with logarithmic harmonic distance to a constant-Q spectrum and attributes aggregate pairwise interactions back to individual...

    Combining Self-Embedding Audio Watermarking with Ultra-Low-Bitrate Neural Codecs

    Yigitcan Özer, Xin Wang, Zhe Zhang, Junichi Yamagishi

    cs.SD · cs.AI

    Partial manipulation of speech recordings, where only localized segments of an utterance are altered, poses a significant challenge for content integrity verification, as reliable detection and localization of such edits becomes harder as the manipulated proportion decreases. Watermarking offers a proactive defense alternative by embedding auxiliary information prior to distribution; classical hash-based schemes achieve near-perfect detection...
