Challenge: Existing work focuses on detecting (partially) AI-generated texts, but paraphrasing is commonly employed in various application scenarios for text refinement and diversity.
Approach: They propose a framework for paraphrased text span detection that takes in the full text and assigns each sentence with a score indicating the paraphrasing degree.
Outcome: The proposed framework can detect paraphrased text spans within a text . it takes in the full text and assigns each sentence with a score indicating the paraphrasing degree.
