arXiv:2607. 00224v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Watermarking promises a statistical trace of large language model (LLM) use, but real documents, after editing or paraphrasing, rarely arrive as purely human-written or purely machine-generated.

arXiv:2606. 18430v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Statistical watermarks help organizations attribute large language model (LLM) outputs, yet existing detectors often struggle when watermark signals are weak, texts are repetitive, or watermarks are edited.

arXiv:2607. 18445v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Regulatory regimes such as the EU AI Act mandate machine-readable marking of synthetic text, but existing watermark detectors rely on the generating LM and on heuristic thresholds with no closed-form calibration.

The paper investigates latent‑space watermarking using pretrained generators, where a watermark encoder selects latent inputs based on a message and secret key to produce outputs with a specified conditional distribution. For finite alphabets, it derives inner and outer bounds on the rate–key trade‑off and characterizes the capacity region when the generator’s output uniquely determines the latent distribution. The study extends to jointly Gaussian models, identifies key sufficient statistics, optimally allocates secret‑key resources across modes, and analyzes robustness against regeneration attacks, providing compound capacity results and decay rates for repeated attacks.

arXiv:2607. 13099v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success but raise growing concerns about content provenance and misuse, motivating the need for reliable watermarking techniques.

arXiv:2607. 18454v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantifying the risk of rare failures in language models, such as those triggered by adversarial distribution shifts or very large-scale deployments, requires estimating probabilities far too small for random sampling.
