Transfer Learning to Identify Multilingual Machine Genenrated Text
摘要
In recent years, the rise of AI-driven tools has threatened academic integrity, with students increasingly relying on AI-generated content and compromising their scholarly efforts. To address the challenge of distinguishing machine-generated text from human-written content, this study utilizes the dataset provided by SemEval-2024. We explore various methodologies, comparing traditional machine learning (ML) techniques enhanced with natural language preprocessing (NLP) against the fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) like XLM-RoBERTa for text classification. Through systematic evaluation across SemEval-2024’s training, development, and testing sets, we uncover key insights. While traditional ML methods with NLP refinements offer a pragmatic approach, transformer models, particularly XLM-RoBERTa, demonstrate superior efficacy. Our findings underscore the transformative potential of transformer models in detecting machine-generated texts, especially in multilingual environments. Additionally, we highlight the effectiveness of majority voting mechanisms in enhancing precision in multilingual contexts.
