MusicDET: Zero-Shot AI-Generated Music Detection

摘要

Detecting AI-generated music is crucial for preserving artistic authenticity and preventing the misuse of generative music technologies. However, existing discriminative detectors typically rely on generated samples during training and often suffer from severe performance degradation when confronted with music produced by unseen generators, which limits their real-world applicability. To address this issue, we formulate a zero-shot setting for AI-generated music detection, where the detector is trained exclusively on real music without access to any generated samples. Under this setting, we propose MusicDET, a generator-agnostic detection framework based on frequency-guided normalizing flows that probabilistically models the distribution of real music features. By evaluating the likelihood of an input sample under the learned real-music distribution, MusicDET enables effective detection of out-of-distribution music signals. Experiments on the FakeMusicCaps and SONICS datasets show that MusicDET consistently outperforms conventional discriminative detectors, particularly when detecting music generated by previously unseen models.
