ArtifactBench — 8-Way Public Model Comparison (2026-07-04)
Extends the original 3-way comparison (ArtifactNet / SpecTTTra / CLAM) with five
additional publicly-available AI-music detection models, evaluated on the same
v1.1 purged test partition (n = 2,224; see v1.1/RESULTS_v1.1.md).
Models added
| Model | Params | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Deezer ISMIR fakeprint LR | 3.6K | lofcz/ai-music-detector (Afchar et al., ISMIR 2025) |
| FST (Mippia) | 174.4M | Mippia/FST-AI-music-detection |
| AI-Music-Detection AST-60s | 90.8M | AI-Music-Detection/ai_music_detection_large_60s |
| SpecTTTra β-5s | 18.7M | awsaf49/sonics-spectttra-beta-5s (5s-segment variant of the SONICS α-120s baseline) |
| DeepFense EAT+Nes2Net (FakeMusicCaps) | — | DeepFense/FakeMusicCaps_EAT_Nes2Net_NoAug_Seed42 (Kheir et al., arXiv:2604.08450) |

| 3 | CLAM (MoM) | 194.3M | 0.787 | 0.711 | 88.3% |

| 6 | FST (Mippia) | 174.4M | 0.735 | 0.984 | 58.7% |
| 7 | DeepFense EAT+Nes2Net | — | 0.650 | 0.589 | 72.4% |
| 8 | SpecTTTra β-5s | 18.7M | 0.563 | 0.884 | 41.3% |
Observation. Parameter count does not predict performance: FST (174.4M) scores below Deezer's 3.6K-parameter logistic-regression baseline. ArtifactNet (4.2M) ranks first among all eight models, including three baselines 20–46× larger.
DeepFense catastrophic-OOD case study. DeepFense (trained on FakeMusicCaps, which draws its AI examples from a different generator/format mix) collapses to near-chance on the SONICS synthetic subset specifically (Chirp/Udio, TPR 0–15%) while performing normally on every other AI-generator subset. This is a genuine distribution-shift failure, not an adapter bug (verified by inspecting per-source means, confirming the split correlates with data source rather than ground-truth label — see the investigation note in this repo's commit history).
Segment-length ablation (SpecTTTra). The same SpecTTTra architecture drops from F1 = 0.777 (120s context) to F1 = 0.563 (5s context) purely from shorter input — evidence that long-context modeling, not just architecture, drives this baseline's detection accuracy.
Reproducibility note — ONNX Runtime CUDA determinism
An earlier run of this 8-way comparison (2026-07-03) produced ArtifactNet F1 = 0.869
using default onnxruntime-gpu settings (cudnn_conv_algo_search: EXHAUSTIVE, the
ORT default). Re-running the identical files and code with HEURISTIC algorithm
selection (deterministic, avoids per-run algorithm auto-tuning) recovered F1 = 0.952
on the same data. We verified bit-exact reproducibility: two independent runs of
a 40-track subset, under both the CPU path and the fixed GPU path, produced identical
probability values (max abs diff = 0.0) across runs. The artifactnet.py adapter now
pins these settings by default. If you fork this runner and see run-to-run drift with
CUDAExecutionProvider on other hardware, check this setting first.
Caveat — file provenance
The real-track set used in this specific 8-way run is a locally-restored superset (some files re-sourced after original storage loss) rather than the exact byte-identical files behind the official v1/v1.1 Table 6 numbers. Absolute FPR values here should be treated as approximate; TPR and cross-model ranking are unaffected (all eight models were scored on identical files). Canonical-byte re-verification is planned for a future update.
