• Title: Applying Ensemble Methods to Model-Agnostic Machine-Generated Text Detection
• Authors: Ivan Ong, Boon King Quek,
• Abstract summary: We study the problem of detecting machine-generated text when the large language model it is possibly derived from is unknown. We use a zero-shot model for machine-generated text detection which is highly accurate when the generative (or base) language model is the same as the discriminative (or scoring) language model.

• Abstract: In this paper, we study the problem of detecting machine-generated text when the large language model (LLM) it is possibly derived from is unknown. We do so by apply ensembling methods to the outputs from DetectGPT classifiers (Mitchell et al. 2023), a zero-shot model for machine-generated text detection which is highly accurate when the generative (or base) language model is the same as the discriminative (or scoring) language model. We find that simple summary statistics of DetectGPT sub-model outputs yield an AUROC of 0.73 (relative to 0.61) while retaining its zero-shot nature, and that supervised learning methods sharply boost the accuracy to an AUROC of 0.94 but require a training dataset. This suggests the possibility of further generalisation to create a highly-accurate, model-agnostic machine-generated text detector.

  We propose a simple but effective black-box zero-shot detection approach. It is predicated on the observation that human-written texts typically contain more grammatical errors than LLM-generated texts. Our method achieves an average AUROC of 98.7% and shows strong robustness against paraphrase and adversarial perturbation attacks.

  Large language models (LLMs) have shown the ability to produce fluent and cogent content. To build trustworthy AI systems, it is imperative to distinguish between machine-generated and human-authored content. Fast-DetectGPT is an optimized zero-shot detector that substitutes DetectGPT's perturbation step with a more efficient sampling step.

  Large language models (LLMs) can generate texts that pose risks of misuse, such as plagiarism, planting fake reviews on e-commerce platforms, or creating inflammatory false tweets. Existing high-quality detection methods usually require access to the interior of the model to extract the intrinsic characteristics. We propose to extract deep intrinsic characteristics of the black-box model generated texts.

• Smaller Language Models are Better Black-box Machine-Generated Text Detectors [56.36291277897995]
  Small and partially-trained models are better universal text detectors. We find that whether the detector and generator were trained on the same data is not critically important to the detection success. For instance, the OPT-125M model has an AUC of 0.81 in detecting ChatGPT generations, whereas a larger model from the GPT family, GPTJ-6B, has AUC of 0.45.

  We show that text sampled from an large language model tends to occupy negative curvature regions of the model's log probability function. We then define a new curvature-based criterion for judging if a passage is generated from a given LLM. We find DetectGPT is more discriminative than existing zero-shot methods for model sample detection.

  The power of natural language generation models has provoked a flurry of interest in automatic methods to detect if a piece of text is human or machine-authored. We propose a method to detect those machine-generated documents leveraging repeated higher-order n-grams. Our experiments show that leveraging that signal allows us to rank suspicious documents accurately.
