    abstract = "The DravidianLangTech@NAACL 2025 shared task focused on Detecting AI-generated Product Reviews in Dravidian Languages, aiming to address the challenge of distinguishing AI-generated content from human-written reviews in Tamil and Malayalam. As AI generated text becomes more prevalent, ensuring the authenticity of online product reviews is crucial for maintaining consumer trust and preventing misinformation. In this study, we explore various feature extraction techniques, including TF-IDF, Count Vectorizer, and transformer-based embeddings such as BERT-Base-Multilingual-Cased and XLM-RoBERTa-Large, to build a robust classification model. Our approach achieved F1-scores of 0.9298 for Tamil and 0.8797 for Malayalam, ranking 8th in Tamil and 11th in Malayalam among all participants. The results highlight the effectiveness of transformer-based embeddings in differentiating AI-generated and human-written content. This research contributes to the growing body of work on AI-generated content detection, particularly in underrepresented Dravidian languages, and provides insights into the challenges unique to these languages."
