The paper introduces a dataset watermarking technique that embeds a watermark by increasing the co‑occurrence of randomly selected word pairs through meaning‑preserving local edits. The watermark can be detected solely from generated text with provable false‑positive control, and experiments on four base models and three datasets show reliable detection (p < 0.01) even when the watermarked data constitutes less than 5% of fine‑tuning tokens. Compared to existing methods, the approach better preserves benchmark utility and semantic integrity.

The paper introduces Dual-Embedding Watermarking (DEW), a semantic watermarking technique for large language models that combines contextual and token-level embeddings. DEW applies algebraic vector-space operations to generate a watermark signal that remains robust to paraphrasing and translation, while obfuscating the signal with pseudo-random matrices seeded by a secret key. Experiments demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art robustness, especially against translation, with minimal computational overhead and preserved text quality at lower watermark strengths.

CORE-BREW is a new multi‑bit watermarking method for large language models that uses log‑likelihood ratios for soft‑decision decoding, targeting a fixed hit rate to calibrate the watermark channel. It introduces entropy‑aware erasures to reduce perturbations in low‑entropy contexts and combines likelihood‑based scoring with soft‑decision list decoding to better exploit token‑level reliability. Experiments on open‑source LLMs show that CORE‑BREW improves detection robustness and payload recovery compared to the BREW baseline while keeping false‑positive rates low and maintaining translation quality metrics close to unwatermarked text.
