Luminol-AIDetect: Fast Zero-shot Machine-Generated Text Detection based on Perplexity under Text Shuffling

  • 用随机打乱文本引发困惑度变化,捕捉机器生成文本的结构脆弱性。
  • 在18种语言、11种攻击类型下,误报率比之前方法低最多17倍。
  • 零样本、低成本,适合快速部署到多语言场景中使用。

机器生成文本检测需识别跨模型的结构不变信号,而非依赖特定模型指纹。我们假设尽管大语言模型擅长局部语义一致性,但其自回归特性导致一种特有的结构脆弱性,区别于人类写作。为此提出Luminol-AIDetect,一种新颖的零样本统计方法,通过简单的随机文本打乱过程暴露该脆弱性。实验表明,打乱后困惑度的变化可作为原理性强、模型无关的判别依据:机器生成文本在打乱后困惑度分布显著分散,而人类文本则保持较稳定。该方法从原文及其打乱版本中提取少量困惑度特征,通过密度估计与集成预测完成判断。在8个内容领域、11种对抗攻击类型、18种语言上评估,性能达当前最优,误报率最高降低17倍,且计算成本更低。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Machine-generated text (MGT) detection requires identifying structurally invariant signals across generation models, rather than relying on model-specific fingerprints. In this respect, we hypothesize that while large language models excel at local semantic consistency, their autoregressive nature results in a specific kind of structural fragility compared to human writing. We propose Luminol-AIDetect, a novel, zero-shot statistical approach that exposes this fragility through coherence disruption. By applying a simple randomized text-shuffling procedure, we demonstrate that the resulting shift in perplexity serves as a principled, model-agnostic discriminant, as MGT displays a characteristic dispersion in perplexity-under-shuffling that differs markedly from the more stable structural variability of human-written text. Luminol-AIDetect leverages this distinction to inform its decision process, where a handful of perplexity-based scalar features are extracted from an input text and its shuffled version, then detection is performed via density estimation and ensemble-based prediction. Evaluated across 8 content domains, 11 adversarial attack types, and 18 languages, Luminol-AIDetect demonstrates state-of-the-art performance, with gains up to 17x lower FPR while being cheaper than prior methods.
