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.

Watermarking schemes for large language model output are evaluated almost exclusively on English text using each scheme's detection threshold and a narrow set of quality measurements. Multilingual deployment exposes evaluation-design choices that are inconsequential on English but determine conclusions cross-lingually.
The paper introduces the first watermark designed specifically for diffusion language models (DLMs), which generate tokens in arbitrary order unlike traditional autoregressive models. It overcomes the challenge of missing prior tokens by applying the watermark in expectation over the context and promoting tokens that strengthen the watermark when used as context. Experiments show a >99% true positive rate with minimal quality loss and comparable robustness to existing autoregressive watermarks.

The paper introduces UniLID, a lightweight language identification method that uses the UnigramLM tokenization algorithm to predict a string’s language by evaluating which language’s unigram distribution best explains the text. UniLID is data‑ and compute‑efficient, allows incremental addition of new languages without retraining, and can be integrated into existing tokenization pipelines. Experiments show competitive performance against baselines such as fasttext, GlotLID‑M, and CLD3, achieving 69% accuracy with five labeled samples per language and 89% with 25, and delivering significant gains on fine‑grained dialect identification.
