The authors first fine-tuned a neural model to distinguish AI-generated text from human writing.
AI text detectors can expose readable features without sacrificing performance
Dugan and colleagues report that classifiers built from interpretable internal features preserve detection performance and outperform neural and stylometric alternatives on out-of-distribution text.
