Our approach involves fine-tuning a RoBERTa-base Transformer, a robust neural architecture, to tackle MGT detection as a binary classification task. Specifically focusing on Subtask A (Monolingual - English) within the SemEval-2024 competition framework, our system achieves a 78.9% accuracy on the test dataset, placing us 57th among participants. While our system demonstrates proficiency in identifying human-written texts, it faces challenges in accurately discerning MGTs.
