The standard way to compare two text embeddings is cosine similarity. Scattered studies report that a different metric does better, but never pin down the geometric condition that decides when, or why.
The paper investigates training‑free detection of machine‑generated text using spectral analysis. It shows that spectral energy correlates with variance in token probability trajectories and that human writing produces characteristic fluctuations, termed "generative vitality." The authors find that spectral signals are strongest for long, continuous, constrained generations, while shorter or mixed texts require additional confidence‑based metrics.

arXiv:2605. 29223v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The parameter counts of the most widely used large language models (LLMs) are often withheld by their developers, leaving model size -- a primary reference point for interpreting capabilities and costs -- largely undisclosed.

The paper introduces a dual‑dimensional framework called Automated Item Similarity Analysis (AISA) that uses Large Language Models to assess incidental content similarity in large‑scale assessments. It combines Structured Decomposition and Semantic Relatedness to capture both structural and semantic nuances that traditional metrics miss. Psychometric validation shows that LLM‑derived metrics better align with construct‑irrelevant local dependence and produce more coherent item groupings, and simulations in Computerized Adaptive Testing demonstrate improved estimation stability and reduced bias with minimal efficiency loss.
