The hypothesis under investigation is that the patterns learned in pretraining will be transferable to the task at hand. The rationale is as follows: the training data of the model is human-written text, therefore deviations from the training set could be detected in this manner. A second method has been added post competition as a further exploration of the dataset involving using the loss of the generation as determined by a pretrained LLM.
