One-GPT: A One-Class Deep Fusion Model for Machine-Generated Text Detection
Roberto Corizzo, Sebastian Leal-Arenas · 2023
On the brink of the one-year anniversary since the public release of ChatGPT, scholarly research has directed their interest toward detection methodologies for machine-generated text. Different models have been proposed, including feature-based classification and detection approaches, as well as deep learning architectures, with a small portion of them integrating contextual information to enhance accurate predictions. Moreover, detection approaches explored thus far have focused primarily on English datasets, with limited attention given to the examination of similar methods in other languages. As a result, the applicability and efficacy of these methods in linguistically diverse contexts remains underexplored. In this paper, we present a one-class deep fusion model that considers both contextual text features derived from word embeddings and linguistic features to detect machine-generated texts in English and Spanish. Experimental results indicated that our model outperformed popular baseline one-class learning models in the detection task, presenting higher accuracy scores in the English dataset. Results are discussed in comparison to competing classifiers as well as the language biases found in detection models.
