• Abstract: This work addresses critical challenges to academic integrity, including plagiarism, fabrication, and verification of authorship of educational content, by proposing a Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based framework for authenticating students' content through author attribution and style change detection. Despite some initial efforts, several aspects of the topic are yet to be explored. In contrast to existing solutions, the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the topic by targeting four relevant tasks, including (i) classification of human and machine text, (ii) differentiating in single and multi-authored documents, (iii) author change detection within multi-authored documents, and (iv) author recognition in collaboratively produced documents. The solutions proposed for the tasks are evaluated on two datasets generated with Gemini using two different prompts, including a normal and a strict set of instructions. During experiments, some reduction in the performance of the proposed solutions is observed on the dataset generated through the strict prompt, demonstrating the complexities involved in detecting machine-generated text with cleverly crafted prompts. The generated datasets, code, and other relevant materials are made publicly available on GitHub, which are expected to provide a baseline for future research in the domain.

  Multi-document summarization (MDS) is a challenging task, often decomposed to subtasks of salience and redundancy detection. alignment of corresponding sentences between a reference summary and its source documents has been leveraged to generate training data. This paper proposes extending the summary-source alignment framework by applying it at the more fine-grained proposition span level.

  "Detect Any Text" is an advanced paradigm that unifies scene text detection, layout analysis, and document page detection into a cohesive, end-to-end model. A pivotal innovation in DAT is the across-granularity interactive attention module, which significantly enhances the representation learning of text instances. Tests demonstrate that DAT achieves state-of-the-art performances across a variety of text-related benchmarks.

  This study investigates AI content detection in a rarely explored yet realistic setting. We first formalized the detection task as identifying the transition points between human-written content and AI-generated content. We then proposed a two-step approach where we separated AI-generated content from human-written content during the encoder training process.

Our experiments show that given only three seed documents per category, our framework can achieve an accuracy of about 92%.
