Challenge: Existing studies on how humans perceive machine-generated text are limited due to the prohibitive cost of running human evaluation studies.
Approach: They propose a task to detect the boundary at which a text passage starts off human-written transitions to being machine-generated.
Outcome: The proposed system evaluates machine-generated news articles on a wide range of domains.
