Abstract
With the widespread adoption of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and GPT-4, in various domains, concerns regarding their potential misuse, including spreading misinformation and disrupting education, have escalated. The need to discern between human-generated and machine-generated text has become increasingly crucial. This paper addresses the challenge of automatic text classification with a focus on distinguishing between human-written and machine-generated text. Leveraging the robust capabilities of the RoBERTa model, we propose an approach for text classification, termed as RoBERTa hybrid, which involves fine-tuning the pre-trained Roberta model coupled with additional dense layers and softmax activation for authorship attribution. In this paper, we present an approach that leverages Stylometric features, hybrid features, and the output probabilities of a fine-tuned RoBERTa model. Our method achieves a test accuracy of 73% and a validation accuracy of 89%, demonstrating promising advancements in the field of machine-generated text detection. These results mark significant progress in the domain of machine-generated text detection, as evidenced by our 74th position on the leaderboard for Subtask-A of SemEval-2024 Task 8.
