Feature-Level Insights into Artificial Text Detection with Sparse Autoencoders

ACL 2025finding

Artificial Text Detection (ATD) is becoming increasingly important with the rise of advanced Large Language Models (LLMs). Despite numerous efforts, no single algorithm performs consistently well across different types of unseen text or guarantees effective generalization to new LLMs. Interpretabili…

Quantifying Logical Consistency in Transformers via Query-Key Alignment

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) excel at many NLP tasks, yet their multi-step logical reasoning remains unreliable. Existing solutions such as Chain-of-Thought prompting generate intermediate steps but provide no internal check of their logical coherence. In this paper, we use the “QK-score”, a lightwe

Robust AI-Generated Text Detection by Restricted Embeddings

EMNLP 2024finding

Growing amount and quality of AI-generated texts makes detecting such content more difficult. In most real-world scenarios, the domain (style and topic) of generated data and the generator model are not known in advance. In this work, we focus on the robustness of classifier-based detectors of AI-ge…

Efficient Grammatical Error Correction Via Multi-Task Training and Optimized Training Schedule

EMNLP 2023long main

Progress in neural grammatical error correction (GEC) is hindered by the lack of annotated training data. Sufficient amounts of high-quality manually annotated data are not available, so recent research has relied on generating synthetic data, pretraining on it, and then fine-tuning on real datasets…

GEC-DePenD: Non-Autoregressive Grammatical Error Correction with Decoupled Permutation and Decoding

ACL 2023long

Grammatical error correction (GEC) is an important NLP task that is currently usually solved with autoregressive sequence-to-sequence models. However, approaches of this class are inherently slow due to one-by-one token generation, so non-autoregressive alternatives are needed. In this work, we prop…

Intrinsic Dimension Estimation for Robust Detection of AI-Generated Texts

NeurIPS 2023poster

Rapidly increasing quality of AI-generated content makes it difficult to distinguish between human and AI-generated texts, which may lead to undesirable consequences for society. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to study the properties of human texts that are invariant over text domains…

Acceptability Judgements via Examining the Topology of Attention Maps

EMNLP 2022finding

The role of the attention mechanism in encoding linguistic knowledge has received special interest in NLP. However, the ability of the attention heads to judge the grammatical acceptability of a sentence has been underexplored. This paper approaches the paradigm of acceptability judgments with topol…

Artificial Text Detection via Examining the Topology of Attention Maps

EMNLP 2021main

The impressive capabilities of recent generative models to create texts that are challenging to distinguish from the human-written ones can be misused for generating fake news, product reviews, and even abusive content. Despite the prominent performance of existing methods for artificial text detect…

Revisiting Mahalanobis Distance for Transformer-Based Out-of-Domain Detection

AAAI 2021technical

Real-life applications, heavily relying on machine learning, such as dialog systems, demand for out-of-domain detection methods. Intent classification models should be equipped with a mechanism to distinguish seen intents from unseen ones so that the dialog agent is capable of rejecting the latter a…

SumTitles: a Summarization Dataset with Low Extractiveness

COLING 2020main

The existing dialogue summarization corpora are significantly extractive. We introduce a methodology for dataset extractiveness evaluation and present a new low-extractive corpus of movie dialogues for abstractive text summarization along with baseline evaluation. The corpus contains 153k dialogues…

Distributed Fine-tuning of Language Models on Private Data

ICLR 2018poster

One of the big challenges in machine learning applications is that training data can be different from the real-world data faced by the algorithm. In language modeling, users’ language (e.g. in private messaging) could change in a year and be completely different from what we observe in publicly ava…
