Paris, le 21 juillet 2026 – Deezer, la plateforme mondiale d’expériences musicales, annonce aujourd’hui que les uploads de titres générés par IA ont, pour la première fois, dépassé la moitié de toutes les nouvelles livraisons quotidiennes de musique. Les titres détectés comme générés par IA ont atteint un pic en juin, représentant plus de 50 % du total des uploads de nouvelles musiques, avec une moyenne mensuelle de 90 000 titres. À la suite de cette étape majeure, Deezer supprimera les titres générés par IA utilisés pour générer des streams frauduleux, ainsi que ceux qui n’ont pas été écoutés depuis six mois ou plus.
« Deezer est en première ligne dans la lutte contre la fraude et la réduction de la dilution des revenus liée à la musique générée par IA depuis près de deux ans. Maintenant que la moitié des uploads quotidiens sont des titres générés par IA, nous prenons des mesures supplémentaires pour protéger les droits des artistes et des auteurs-compositeurs, tout en restant concentrés sur la musique que les fans aiment réellement », a déclaré Alexis Lanternier, CEO de Deezer. « Nous avons atteint un moment décisif, mais nous disposons de la technologie nécessaire pour suivre cette évolution, ainsi que de l’ambition de faire ce qui est juste. Si l’industrie parvient à s’aligner et à se rassembler autour de standards communs, nous pourrons construire un écosystème musical sain et durable, dans lequel la grande musique l’emporte. »
L’outil propriétaire de détection de l’IA de Deezer, en instance de brevet, est en place depuis le début de l’année 2025. Il permet à l’entreprise de détecter la musique générée par IA et de l’exclure des recommandations algorithmiques et éditoriales. En juin 2026, Deezer est devenue la première plateforme de streaming musical à signaler explicitement les titres générés par IA. Pour plus d’informations, voir les notes aux éditeurs ci-dessous.

***** FIN *****
Deezer reçoit près de 90 000 titres entièrement générés par IA chaque jour, représentant plus de 50 % du total des livraisons quotidiennes lors des pics. L’outil de détection de l’IA de Deezer est en place depuis le début de l’année 2025, permettant à l’entreprise de suivre l’augmentation constante des contenus entièrement synthétiques sur la plateforme. En juin, Deezer est devenue la première plateforme de streaming musical, et à ce jour la seule, à signaler explicitement les titres générés par IA. Plus de 13,4 millions de titres générés par IA ont été détectés et signalés sur Deezer en 2025.
L’outil de détection de musique générée par IA de Deezer établit un standard pour l’industrie, avec la capacité de détecter la musique générée par IA à partir des modèles génératifs les plus prolifiques, tels que Suno et Udio, ainsi que la possibilité d’ajouter des capacités de détection pour pratiquement tout autre outil similaire, dès lors que des exemples de données pertinents sont disponibles. Deezer a également réalisé des progrès significatifs dans la création d’un système doté d’une meilleure capacité de généralisation, permettant de détecter les contenus générés par IA sans disposer d’un jeu de données spécifique pour l’entraînement.
Deezer propose désormais sa technologie de détection de l’IA sous licence, offrant ainsi à l’industrie musicale au sens large une solution pour favoriser la transparence et réduire l’incitation à la fraude liée à la musique générée par IA. Plus d’informations sur : https://business.deezer.com/ai-detection/
IA et fraude – Bien que la musique entièrement générée par IA ne représente actuellement qu’une faible part des streams sur Deezer, entre 1 et 3 %, il apparaît clairement que l’objectif principal de l’upload de ces titres sur les plateformes de streaming est frauduleux. Deezer a constaté que jusqu’à 85 % des streams générés par des titres entièrement produits par IA étaient en réalité frauduleux en 2025. Lorsque Deezer détecte une manipulation des streams, quelle qu’en soit la nature, la plateforme exclut ces streams des paiements de royalties.
L’IA représente un enjeu critique pour l’industrie musicale – Selon une étude menée par la CISAC et PMP Strategy, avec la participation d’acteurs clés de l’industrie, dont Deezer, près de 25 % des revenus des créateurs pourraient être menacés d’ici 2028, ce qui pourrait représenter jusqu’à 4 milliards d’euros à cette échéance. Cela constitue un défi colossal, voire critique, pour l’ensemble du secteur de la création musicale. https://www.cisac.org/services/reports-and-research/cisacpmp-strategy-ai-study
Les titres générés par IA sont retirés des recommandations – Les morceaux détectés comme générés par IA sont automatiquement retirés des recommandations algorithmiques et ne sont pas inclus dans les playlists éditoriales. Il s’agit d’une première étape pour s’assurer que ces titres ne diluent pas de manière significative le pool de royalties. D’éventuelles actions futures, notamment la mise à jour de notre politique fournisseurs et la suppression ou la démonétisation de contenus, devront être fondées sur une analyse approfondie.
Deux nouveaux brevets – En décembre 2024, Deezer a déposé deux demandes de brevet pour sa technologie de détection de l’IA, axées sur deux méthodes différentes permettant d’identifier des signatures uniques utilisées pour distinguer les contenus synthétiques des contenus authentiques. Ces brevets ont été publiés par les offices des brevets de l’Union européenne et des États-Unis en juin 2026.
En novembre 2025, Deezer a commandé la première enquête mondiale consacrée aux perceptions et attitudes à l’égard de la musique générée par IA. L’enquête a été menée par Ipsos auprès de 9 000 personnes dans huit pays : États-Unis, Canada, Brésil, Royaume-Uni, France, Pays-Bas, Allemagne et Japon. Elle a révélé un souhait clair de signaler les musiques générées par IA et de s’assurer que les artistes et auteurs-compositeurs soient traités et rémunérés équitablement si leur musique est utilisée pour entraîner des modèles d’IA. Les principaux résultats incluent :
● 97 % des participants n’ont pas su faire la différence entre de la musique entièrement générée par IA et de la musique créée par des humains lors d’un test à l’aveugle comprenant deux chansons générées par IA et une véritable chanson.
● 80 % sont d’accord pour dire que la musique générée à 100 % par IA devrait être clairement signalée aux auditeurs.
● 73 % des utilisateurs de services de streaming musical aimeraient savoir si un service de streaming leur recommande de la musique générée à 100 % par IA.
● 52 % des répondants estiment que les chansons générées à 100 % par IA ne devraient pas figurer dans les classements principaux aux côtés de chansons créées par des humains.
Chiffres mis à jour sur la base des données Deezer de juin 2026
Combien de titres générés par IA Deezer reçoit-il actuellement ?
Deezer reçoit environ 90 000 titres entièrement générés par IA chaque jour, représentant plus de 50 % de l’ensemble des uploads quotidiens lors des pics enregistrés en juin 2026. Plus de 13,4 millions de titres générés par IA ont été détectés et signalés sur Deezer en 2025 uniquement. L’outil de détection IA de Deezer est en place depuis janvier 2025, permettant à la société de suivre cette progression constante du contenu entièrement synthétique.
Quelle part des écoutes sur Deezer concerne la musique générée par IA ?
Malgré l’énorme volume d’uploads, la musique entièrement générée par IA ne représente qu’une faible part des écoutes, entre 1 et 3 % du total des streams. Cela s’explique par le fait que tous les titres détectés comme générés par IA sont automatiquement exclus des recommandations algorithmiques et des playlists éditoriales, ce qui limite drastiquement leur portée organique.
Quelle proportion de ces streams est frauduleuse ?
Jusqu’à 85 % des streams sur des titres entièrement générés par IA ont été identifiés comme frauduleux en 2025 et ont été démonétisés par Deezer. À titre de comparaison, la fraude au streaming sur l’ensemble du catalogue ne représentait que 8 % de l’ensemble des streams en 2025. Tous les streams frauduleux sont retirés du pool de royalties afin de ne pas impacter les revenus des artistes légitimes.
Comment fonctionne l’outil de détection IA de Deezer ?
L’outil de détection de Deezer identifie des artefacts spécifiques laissés par les modèles d’IA générative dans les fichiers audio qu’ils produisent. Ces artefacts sont généralement inaudibles pour l’être humain, mais détectables par logiciel, et rarement présents dans la musique enregistrée par des humains, ce qui en fait un signal fiable pour identifier les titres générés par IA. Ces artefacts étant propres à chaque modèle génératif, l’outil peut également identifier quel modèle spécifique a été utilisé pour créer la musique. Deezer a déposé deux brevets pour cette technologie en décembre 2024, axés sur deux méthodes distinctes de détection des signatures uniques distinguant les contenus synthétiques des contenus authentiques.
Quelle est la précision de l’outil de détection ?
Le système de détection IA de Deezer affiche une précision de 99,8 %. Il peut manquer environ 2 titres générés par IA sur 1 000. Concernant les faux positifs, il peut signaler à tort moins d’un titre humain sur 10 000. Afin de réduire encore les erreurs, le label IA est appliqué au niveau de l’album plutôt qu’au niveau du titre.
La musique générée par IA nuit-elle aux royalties des artistes humains ?
Grâce aux mesures prises par Deezer, la musique IA ne représente que 1 à 3 % des streams sur la plateforme, et jusqu’à 85 % de ces streams sont frauduleux et démonétisés. Tous les streams frauduleux sont retirés du pool de royalties, de sorte que l’impact global sur les revenus des artistes humains reste minimal sur Deezer.
D’autres plateformes de streaming peuvent-elles utiliser la technologie de détection IA de Deezer ?
Oui. Depuis janvier 2026, Deezer a rendu sa technologie de détection IA disponible en licence pour toute organisation de l’écosystème musical souhaitant détecter et suivre la musique générée par IA, y compris d’autres plateformes de streaming, des sociétés de droits et des distributeurs. Deezer a déjà réalisé des tests concluants avec des acteurs majeurs, dont la Sacem. L’outil est également utilisé par Billboard pour déterminer quels titres de ses classements sont générés par IA.

Paris, July 21, 2026 – Deezer, the global music experiences platform, is today reporting that uploads of AI-generated tracks have, for the first time, exceeded half of all daily new music deliveries. Tracks detected as AI-generated reached its peak in June, representing more than 50% of total uploads of new music, with a monthly average of 90,000 tracks. Following this milestone, Deezer will take down generative-AI tracks used to generate fraudulent streams, as well those that haven’t been streamed for 6 months or more.
“Deezer has been at the frontline of fighting fraud and reducing payment dilution related to AI music for almost two years. Now that half of all daily uploads are AI-generated tracks, we are taking additional steps to safeguard the rights of artists and songwriters, while maintaining focus on music that fans actually love,” said Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer. “We have reached a pivotal moment, but we have the technology to keep track of the development, and an ambition to do what’s right. If the industry can align and come together to create shared standards, we can build a healthy and sustainable music ecosystem, where great music wins.”
Deezer’s proprietary, patent-pending, AI detection tool has been in place since January 2025, enabling the company to track and exclude AI-generated music from algorithmic and editorial recommendations. In June 2026, Deezer became the first streaming platform to explicitly tag AI-generated music for listeners, giving users full visibility into the content they hear. For additional information, see below the notes to editors.
AI detection on Deezer
*** ENDS ***
Deezer is now receiving nearly 90,000 fully AI-generated tracks every day, accounting for more than 50% of total daily deliveries on peak days. Deezer’s AI detection tool has been in place since the beginning of 2025, enabling the company to track a steady increase of fully synthetic content on the platform. In June 2025, Deezer became the first (and so far only) music streaming platform to explicitly tag AI-generated music. Over 13.4 million AI-generated tracks were detected and tagged on Deezer in 2025.
Deezer’s AI music detection tool sets an industry standard, with the ability to detect AI-generated music from the most prolific generative models, such as Suno and Udio, with the possibility to add detection capabilities for practically any other similar tool as long as there’s access to relevant data examples. Not only that, Deezer has made significant progress in creating a system with increased generalizability, to detect AI generated content without a specific dataset to train on.
Deezer is now licensing its AI-detection tech, offering the wider music industry an option to support transparency and reduce the incentive for AI-music fraud. Visit https://business.deezer.com/ai-detection/ for more info.
AI and fraud – Although fully AI-generated music currently accounts for only a small fraction of streams on Deezer, between 1-3%, it’s evident that the primary purpose of uploading these tracks to streaming platforms is fraudulent. Deezer has found that up to 85% of the streams generated by fully AI-generated tracks were in fact fraudulent in 2025. When detecting stream manipulation of any kind, Deezer excludes the streams from the royalty payments.
AI is a critical challenge for the music industry – According to a study conducted by CISAC and PMP Strategy, with participation from key industry players (including Deezer), nearly 25% of creators’ revenues are at risk by 2028, which could amount to as much as €4 billion by that time. This represents a colossal, even critical, challenge for the music creation sector as a whole. https://www.cisac.org/services/reports-and-research/cisacpmp-strategy-ai-study
AI tracks are removed from recommendations – Songs detected as AI-generated are automatically removed from algorithmic recommendations and are not included in editorial playlists. This is a first step in making sure that these tracks don’t dilute the royalty pool in any significant way. Potential future actions, including updating our supplier policy and removing/demonetizing content need to be based on careful consideration.
Two new patents – In December 2024, Deezer applied for two patents for its AI Detection technology, focused on two different methods of detecting unique signatures that are used to distinguish synthetic content from authentic content. The patents have been published by the EU and US patent offices in June 2026.
In November 2025, Deezer commissioned the world’s first survey focused on perceptions and attitudes towards AI-generated music. The survey was carried out by Ipsos with a total of 9000 people in 8 countries, US, Canada, Brazil, UK, France, Netherlands, Germany and Japan. It revealed a clear desire for tagging AI-generated music and making sure artists and songwriters are being fairly treated and paid if their music is used to train AI-models. Key results included:
Figures updated to reflect Deezer data as of June, 2026
How many AI-generated tracks is Deezer currently receiving?
Deezer is now receiving approximately 90,000 fully AI-generated tracks every day, representing more than 50% of all daily uploads at peak in June 2026. Over 13.4 million AI-generated tracks were detected and tagged on Deezer in 2025 alone. Deezer’s AI detection tool has been in place since January 2025, enabling the company to track this steady increase of fully synthetic content.
How much of the actual listening on Deezer is AI-generated music?
Despite the enormous volume of uploads, fully AI-generated music accounts for only a small fraction of listening activity, between 1 and 3% of total streams. This is because all AI-detected tracks are automatically excluded from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists, drastically limiting their organic reach.
How many of those streams are fraudulent?
Up to 85% of streams on fully AI-generated tracks were identified as fraudulent in 2025 and have been demonetized by Deezer. By comparison, streaming fraud across the entire catalog accounted for only 8% of all streams in 2025. All fraudulent streams are removed from the royalty pool so they have no impact on legitimate artists’ earnings.
How does Deezer’s AI detection tool work?
Deezer’s detection tool identifies specific artifacts left behind by generative AI models in the audio they create. These artifacts are usually inaudible to humans but are detected by software and are rarely found in real recorded music, making them a strong signal for identifying AI-generated tracks. Because these artifacts are unique to each generative model, the tool can also identify which specific AI model was used. Deezer filed two patents for this technology in December 2024, focused on two different methods of detecting the unique signatures that distinguish synthetic content from authentic content.
How accurate is the detection tool?
Deezer’s AI detection system has an accuracy of 99.8%. It may miss approximately 2 tracks out of every 1,000 AI-generated tracks. Regarding false positives, it may incorrectly flag fewer than 1 track out of every 10,000 genuine human-made tracks. To further reduce errors, the AI tag is applied at the album level rather than the track level.
Does AI-generated music hurt real artists’ royalties?
Thanks to the unique actions Deezer has taken, AI music represents only 1 to 3% of streams on the platform, and up to 85% of those streams are fraudulent and demonetized. All fraudulent streams are removed from the royalty pool, so the overall impact on human artists’ royalties is minimal on Deezer.
What do listeners actually think about AI music?
In November 2025, Deezer commissioned the world’s first international survey on attitudes toward AI-generated music, conducted by Ipsos across 9,000 people in 8 countries. Key findings: 97% could not tell the difference between AI-generated and human-made music in a blind test; 80% agree that 100% AI-generated music should be clearly labeled to listeners; 73% of streaming users want to know if their platform is recommending AI-generated music; 52% feel that AI-generated songs should not be included in main charts alongside human-made songs.
Can other streaming platforms license Deezer’s AI detection tool?
Yes. Since January 2026, Deezer has made its AI detection technology commercially available to any organization in the music ecosystem, including other streaming platforms, rights organizations, and distributors. Deezer has already performed successful tests with industry leaders including Sacem. The tool is also used by Billboard to determine which tracks in their charts are AI-generated.

Deezer – Live the Music
Paris, June 24, 2026 – Deezer, the global music experience platform, today announced the launch of Remix Lab, a feature integrated directly in the app, through the Deezer Club. Remix Lab is the first feature of its kind in the music streaming ecosystem, offering a new way for fans to connect with their favorite music in a creative way. It is developed with the prior agreement of the artists, and fully respecting rightsholder agreements.
With this feature, Deezer continues to innovate, offering a customizable and social product that aligns with user habits and taking another step forward by enriching the exclusive experiences offered within the Deezer Club in France. Through different contests, fans will be able to remix tracks from major artists such as Céline Dion (J’irai où tu iras), Tiakola (Meuda), Alonzo (18 carats), Ronisia (Solide), Mosimann (Soon ft Gaëtan Roussel), Zaho (Comme Caroline), Alain Souchon (J’ai 10 ans).
Pierre Trochu, Head of Product at Deezer, said: “This feature focuses on simplicity and accessibility and in just a few clicks, users can reimagine and rediscover a track they already know and love, by applying either simple effects such as increasing the speed or adding reverb, or more elaborate transformations such as changes to musical genre and style.”
Today, Gen Z fans in particular are no longer passive listeners, and 30% of tracks shared on TikTok are already modified by users, without this systematically generating revenue for artists and rights holders. Younger generations are already co-creating, and Deezer is now giving them an ethical framework in which to do so.
Every remix is created with the explicit agreement from the artist. Streams generated from remixed versions are fully attributed to the original work. Every listen counts, and artists are compensated accordingly, in line with the rights owed to them. An approach fully consistent with Deezer’s commitment to fair and transparent remuneration.
Participants discover the contest directly in the Deezer Club or on the artist’s page within the app, and are invited to add their creative touch to the artist’s track. The created remix can be streamed immediately, added to playlists and shared with their community, just like any other track, available exclusively on Deezer. Contest winners will be announced in early September. Their remix will be featured in a dedicated Deezer playlist bringing together all winning remixes. They will each also receive 2 tickets to a Deezer Purple Door event taking place in September, as well as a piece of merchandise from the artist whose song they remixed.
Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer, said: “This remix tool perfectly embodies our vision of offering a product that enriches the listening experience for fans, by allowing them to participate in the creative process and create a deeper connection with their favorite music, directly in the Deezer app. True to our DNA, these features are made possible with full participation of the artists, fully respecting rights, and maximizing earnings for each track.”
Launched first in France, this feature could be extended to other countries in the coming months.

Deezer – Live the music
Music streaming services such as Deezer often recommend personalized playlists to users. Playlist captioning, which involves describing these playlists in natural language, is essential for helping users understand the content behind each recommendation, yet remains challenging at scale. This paper presents the automatic playlist captioning system deployed on Deezer in 2025 to address this challenge. Leveraging recent advances in large language models (LLMs) to generate descriptive captions from diverse data sources in a controlled manner, this system now powers the Daily Mix feature, used by millions of users. This deployment has led to significant improvements in user engagement, highlighting how the semantic framing of an unchanged recommendation shapes user perception in online personalized experiences.
97% of people can’t – which is why we’ve built AI Music Detector, a free online tool available in 27 languages, that allows users to scan their playlists from more than 20 popular streaming platforms and instantly discover how much of their music is AI-generated versus human-made.
Using Spot AI is simple:
No Deezer account is required.

👉 Try the AI Music Detector and discover how much AI-generated music is hiding in your playlists.
Paris, June 11, 2026 – Deezer, the global music experiences platform, is today launching a free online AI music detector, available in 27 languages, giving music streaming users across 20 of the most common platforms the opportunity to check if their playlists include AI-generated tracks. A recent 8 country survey from Deezer and Ipsos, revealed that 80 % of people agree that AI-music should be clearly labeled, and that 73% would like to see AI music tagged on streaming platforms. Deezer’s online detector is based on the company’s leading AI music detection technology, and only requires a few simple steps.
“By detecting and tagging AI generated music over the past year and a half, Deezer has been at the forefront of transparency in music streaming. No other company has followed our lead yet, so we decided to make it possible for everyone to check if their playlists include synthetic music, no matter which streaming platform they use,” said Alexis Lanternier, CEO, Deezer.
“A vast majority of people want to know if AI music is being recommended to them and our data show that nearly half of the users joining Deezer from another platform have AI tracks in their playlists. We’re expecting our AI music detector to be an eye-opening experience for listeners around the world.”
Deezer was the first company in the world to detect and tag AI generated music on its platform, and has made its in-house developed tech commercially available for companies across the music ecosystem. For more information on Deezer’s approach to AI generated music, transparency and fairness, see editor’s notes below.
On Deezer, tracks identified and detected as AI-generated are automatically excluded from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists. This ensures that real artists continue to be promoted and that their revenues are not diluted.
AI-generated music remains available on the platform for those who wish to listen to it. It is clearly identified with an AI label, an initiative launched in June 2025 that makes Deezer the world’s first streaming platform to explicitly label this type of content.
In 2025, more than 13.4 million AI-generated tracks were detected and flagged on Deezer. Up to 85% of streams on these tracks were identified as fraudulent and excluded from royalty calculations, directly protecting the revenues of human artists.
Is Deezer’s Detection Technology Available to Industry Professionals?
Yes. Since January 2026, Deezer has been licensing its AI music detection technology to the broader music industry, including other streaming platforms, rights organizations, and distributors.
Deezer has also successfully completed tests with major industry players, including Sacem. Becoming a Deezer partner means protecting your catalogue, promoting fair royalty distribution, and reducing legal risks associated with AI-generated content.

This represents a colossal, even critical, challenge for the music creation sector as a whole. https://www.cisac.org/services/reports-and-research/cisacpmp-strategy-ai-study
Two new patents – In December 2024, Deezer applied for two patents for its AI Detection technology, focused on two different methods of detecting unique signatures that are used to distinguish synthetic content from authentic content.

Deezer – Live the music
Hundreds of football anthems have been uploaded to Deezer in anticipation of the football world cup this year – a majority are detected and tagged as AI thanks to Deezer’s technology and transparent approach to AI-generated music
Paris, June 8, 2026 – Deezer, the global music experiences platform, has seen an influx of tracks and albums with titles related to the 2026 World Cup, leading up to this summer’s biggest sporting event. More than 270 tracks named “World Cup 2026” have been uploaded, and over 70% of these are labeled as generated with the use of AI. Similarly, there are over 150 songs named “FIFA World Cup 2026”, and over 65% of these are labeled as AI.
“It’s never been easier to create music and upload it to streaming platforms, so it’s not surprising that a global sports event like the World Cup triggers people to try and take advantage of the moment”, Aurelien Herault, Chief Innovation Officer, Deezer. “However, since AI music is both tagged and removed from algorithmic recommendations when it’s detected on Deezer, the likelihood of any of these songs getting more than a few streams is very low. We also suspect that since Deezer has gone further than any other platform when it comes to transparency and reducing AI-related fraud and payment dilution, it’s now less attractive to upload AI slop on Deezer.”
Since the beginning of 2026, unofficial World Cup anthems have become an increasingly common phenomenon across the internet, with the viral French anthem “Imbattables” by AI music creator Crystalo, as one of the best known examples. The creator has accumulated millions of views across social media and music streaming platforms.
Deezer’s findings apply globally with very slight variations across certain countries. In Deezer’s biggest markets France and Brazil, there are also local tracks. There are, for example, over 70 songs listed in albums called “Coupe du Monde 2026”, of which 86% are detected as AI-generated. In Brazil there are over 180 songs published in albums called “Copa do Mundo 2026”, of which 71% are AI.
Deezer is the first and only streaming platform to automatically detect and transparently label AI-generated music. Its technology is detecting more than 75,000 fully AI-generated tracks everyday, representing roughly 44% of all daily uploads. These tracks are excluded from algorithmic and editorial recommendations.
Deezer has taken its approach in order to create maximum transparency for its users and to minimize negative impact for artists, including streaming fraud and payment dilution. While AI-generated music represents only 1-3% of total streams, up to 85% are detected as streaming fraud, and are removed from royalty calculations and never paid for.
In a 2025 survey conducted by Deezer with Ipsos across 9,000 respondents, 80% said AI music should be clearly labeled.

Methods to represent literary texts as graphs or sequences of graphs mainly focus on representing character interactions, and often overlook another crucial aspect: the textual context in which characters interact. We introduce Dynamic Heterogeneous Character Networks (DHCNs), which organize long novels into temporally localized heterogeneous graphs that align characters with their textual contexts. We extract around 20,000 DHCNs from Project Gutenberg, and propose GraphLit, a self-supervised learning framework that learns rich literary representations through a masked graph autoencoder objective. Across a wide-range of 12 character-related tasks, GraphLit improves over text-only and graph-only baselines, particularly on tasks requiring contextual understanding. Finally, we demonstrate the applicability of DHCNs and GraphLit for literary analysis by studying the link between narrative non-linearity and dynamic social features.

Deezer – Live the music
Audio autoencoders learn useful, compressed audio representations, but their non-linear latent spaces prevent intuitive algebraic manipulation such as mixing or scaling. We introduce a simple training methodology to induce linearity in a high-compression Consistency Autoencoder (CAE) by using data augmentation, thereby inducing homogeneity (equivariance to scalar gain) and additivity (the decoder preserves addition) without altering the model’s architecture or loss function. When trained with our method, the CAE exhibits linear behavior in both the encoder and decoder while preserving reconstruction fidelity. We test the practical utility of our learned space on music source composition and separation via simple latent arithmetic. This work presents a straightforward technique for constructing structured latent spaces, enabling more intuitive and efficient audio processing.
