Challenge: Existing methods for supervised metaphor detection are limited by their performance.
Approach: They propose to use ChatGPT to detect most prevalent verb metaphors among metaphors . they use literal collocations of target verbs and subject-object pairs of verbs to detect them .
Outcome: The proposed method achieves the best performance on the unsupervised verb metaphors detection task compared to existing unsupervised methods or direct prediction using ChatGPT.

On the Generalization of Training-based ChatGPT Detection Methods (2024.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing studies show that training-based methods are ineffective to detect LLM generated texts from unseen tasks or topics which are not collected during training.
Approach: They propose to train classification models to distinguish LLMs from human texts by a distribution shift caused by prompts, text lengths, topics, and language tasks.
Outcome: The proposed methods can detect LLMs from black-box models, but they suffer from distribution shifts due to a wide range of factors, including prompts, text lengths, topics, and language tasks.
