From Text to Source: Results in Detecting Large Language Model-Generated Content (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) generate human-like text, but have ethical and misuse concerns. |
| Approach: | They evaluate whether a classifier trained to distinguish between source and target LLMs can detect text from an LLM without further training. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method detects text from target LLMs without further training. |
