Learning From Dictionary: Enhancing Robustness of Machine-Generated Text Detection in Zero-Shot Language via Adversarial Training

ICLR 2026poster

Machine-generated text (MGT) detection is critical for safeguarding online content integrity and preventing the spread of misleading information. Although existing detectors achieve high accuracy in monolingual settings, they exhibit severe performance degradation on zero-shot languages and are vul…

Statistical Consistency and Generalization of Contrastive Representation Learning

ICML 2026poster

Contrastive representation learning (CRL) underpins many modern foundation models. Despite recent theoretical progress, existing analyses suffer from several key limitations: (i) the statistical consistency of CRL remains poorly understood; (ii) available generalization bounds deteriorate as the num…

Iron Sharpens Iron: Defending Against Attacks in Machine-Generated Text Detection with Adversarial Training

ACL 2025long

Machine-generated Text (MGT) detection is crucial for regulating and attributing online texts. While the existing MGT detectors achieve strong performance, they remain vulnerable to simple perturbations and adversarial attacks. To build an effective defense against malicious perturbations, we view M…

Optimal Rates for Generalization of Gradient Descent for Deep ReLU Classification

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recent advances have significantly improved our understanding of the generalization performance of gradient descent (GD) methods in deep neural networks. A natural and fundamental question is whether GD can achieve generalization rates comparable to the minimax optimal rates established in the kerne…
