AnchorSteer: Self-Discovered Concept Injection for Structure-Preserving Music Editing 文章

arXiv:2605.31053v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Controllable music editing is to modify high-level attributes while strictly preserving rhythmic and melodic structures. However, this task is challenged by a semantic-structural entanglement: steering methods often degrade structure to achieve editing performance, while structural adaptors suppress semantic responsiveness. We propose AnchorSteer, a framework that disentangles this tension by coupling structural anchoring with self-discovered semantic steering. The proposed approach probes internal representations to extract interpretable, label-free concept vectors via a self-supervised reconstruction objective, isolating attributes without curated data. During editing, these portable, plug-and-play concept vectors are injected into diffusion hidden manifolds while a structural adaptor enforces consistency. Variants for unconditioned and conditioned injections are provided to balance robustness and semantic strength.
