arXiv:2606. 00016v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Detecting AI-generated text is becoming increasingly challenging as modern language models approach human-level fluency and can evade detectors that rely on surface statistics or likelihood-based signals.

arXiv:2607. 14113v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While many AI-generated text (AIGT) detectors achieve strong performance on clean inputs, their accuracy degrades significantly under light paraphrasing, word substitutions, character edits, and distribution shifts.

arXiv:2605. 00924v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI-generated content (AIGC) detectors are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings such as academic integrity screening, yet their reliability rests on a fundamental paradox: as language models are trained on human-written corpora, the statistical boundary between AI and human writing will inevitably dissolve as models improve.

arXiv:2505. 14608v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite considerable progress in the development of machine-text detectors, the ease with which machine-text can be manipulated to evade detection has led to suggestions that the problem is inherently intractable.

The paper introduces MOSAIC, a large adversarial benchmark for detecting AI-generated text, and presents NeuroStat, a new framework that combines token‑level probabilistic logits with deep semantic hidden states from a single language model. NeuroStat fuses these signals via Macro‑State Residual Modulation and uses orthogonal and contrastive losses to learn complementary representations. Experiments show that NeuroStat outperforms existing methods on MOSAIC, achieving superior robustness against adversarial attacks.

arXiv:2606. 31741v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While semantic embeddings are rigorously evaluated on the Massive Text Embedding Benchmark, the evaluation of style embeddings remains fragmented, with each work relying on their own set of tasks and datasets.

arXiv:2606. 07313v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Detecting machine-generated text is especially difficult under distribution shift, such as transfer across domains, source models, and editing attacks.

Authorship verification (AV) assumes that an author's writing style remains sufficiently stable to distinguish it from that of other writers. In practice, however, this assumption is challenged by dis...

arXiv:2606. 14060v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adversarial conditions such as paraphrasing and targeted style transfer sharply degrade the accuracy of machine text detectors.

The paper investigates whether activation steering can capture the complex, multidimensional nature of authorship style. By using structured contrastive prompting along rhetorically motivated dimensions, the authors construct rich style representations directly in activation space, revealing a shared authorship backbone with aspect‑specific residuals. They propose Aspect‑Aware Activation Steering (A3S), a training‑free framework that merges per‑aspect contrastive directions, employs interference‑aware aggregation, and tunes steering strength per instance, achieving better authorship style transfer and outperforming a trained baseline on out‑of‑domain benchmarks.
