• Authors: Ruixiang Tang, Yu-Neng Chuang, Xia Hu
• Abstract summary: The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has resulted in the production of texts that are almost indistinguishable from texts written by humans. This has sparked concerns about the potential misuse of such texts, such as spreading misinformation and causing disruptions in the education system. This survey aims to provide an overview of existing LLM-generated text detection techniques and enhance the control and regulation of language generation models.

• Abstract: The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has resulted in the production of LLM-generated texts that is highly sophisticated and almost indistinguishable from texts written by humans. However, this has also sparked concerns about the potential misuse of such texts, such as spreading misinformation and causing disruptions in the education system. Although many detection approaches have been proposed, a comprehensive understanding of the achievements and challenges is still lacking. This survey aims to provide an overview of existing LLM-generated text detection techniques and enhance the control and regulation of language generation models. Furthermore, we emphasize crucial considerations for future research, including the development of comprehensive evaluation metrics and the threat posed by open-source LLMs, to drive progress in the area of LLM-generated text detection.

  We present a novel semantic-enhanced framework for detecting large language models (LLMs)-generated text (SEFD) Our framework improves upon existing detection methods by systematically integrating retrieval-based techniques with traditional detectors. We showcase the effectiveness of our approach in sequential text scenarios common in real-world applications, such as online forums and Q&A platforms.

  Human & LLM Paraphrase Collection (HLPC) is a first-of-its-kind dataset that incorporates human-written texts and paraphrases. We perform classification experiments that incorporate human-written paraphrases, watermarked and non-watermarked LLM-generated documents from GPT and OPT, and LLM-generated paraphrases from DIPPER and BART. Results show that the inclusion of human-written paraphrases has a significant impact of LLM-generated detector performance, promoting TPR@1%FPR with a possible trade-off of AUROC and accuracy.

• Beyond Binary: Towards Fine-Grained LLM-Generated Text Detection via Role Recognition and Involvement Measurement [51.601916604301685]
  Large language models (LLMs) generate content that can undermine trust in online discourse. Current methods often focus on binary classification, failing to address the complexities of real-world scenarios like human-AI collaboration. To move beyond binary classification and address these challenges, we propose a new paradigm for detecting LLM-generated content.

  Large language models (LLMs) have transformed human writing by enhancing grammar correction, content expansion, and stylistic refinement. Existing detection methods, which mainly rely on single-feature analysis and binary classification, often fail to effectively identify LLM-generated text in academic contexts. We propose a novel Multi-level Fine-grained Detection framework that detects LLM-generated text by integrating low-level structural, high-level semantic, and deep-level linguistic features.

  Large language models (LLMs) present significant safety and ethical risks if exploited by malicious users. Recent works have proposed algorithms to detect LLM-generated text and protect LLMs. We study two types of attack strategies: 1) replacing certain words in an LLM's output with their synonyms given the context; 2) automatically searching for an instructional prompt to alter the writing style of the generation.
