The remarkable ability of large language models (LLMs) to comprehend, interpret, and generate complex language has rapidly integrated LLM-generated text into various aspects of daily life, where users increasingly accept it. However, the growing reliance on LLMs underscores the urgent need for effective detection mechanisms to identify LLM-generated text. Such mechanisms are critical to mitigating misuse and safeguarding domains like artistic expression and social networks from potential negative consequences. LLM-generated text detection, conceptualized as a binary classification task, seeks to determine whether an LLM produced a given text. Recent advances in this field stem from innovations in watermarking techniques, statistics-based detectors, and neural-based detectors. Human-assisted methods also play a crucial role. In this survey, we consolidate recent research breakthroughs in this field, emphasizing the urgent need to strengthen detector research. Additionally, we review existing datasets, highlighting their limitations and developmental requirements. Furthermore, we examine various LLM-generated text detection paradigms, shedding light on challenges like out-of-distribution problems, potential attacks, real-world data issues, and ineffective evaluation frameworks. Finally, we outline intriguing directions for future research in LLM-generated text detection to advance responsible artificial intelligence. This survey aims to provide a clear and comprehensive introduction for newcomers while offering seasoned researchers valuable updates in the field.1

With the different roles that AI is expected to play in human life, imbuing large language models (LLMs) with different personalities has attracted increasing research interest. While the “personification” enhances human experiences of interactivity and adaptability of LLMs, it gives rise to critical concerns about content safety, particularly regarding bias, sentiment, and toxicity of LLM generation. This study explores how assigning different personality traits to LLMs affects the toxicity and biases of their outputs. Leveraging the widely accepted HEXACO personality framework developed in social psychology, we design experimentally sound prompts to test three LLMs’ performance on three toxic and bias benchmarks. The findings demonstrate the sensitivity of all three models to HEXACO personality traits and, more importantly, a consistent variation in the biases, negative sentiment, and toxicity of their output. In particular, adjusting the levels of several personality traits can effectively reduce bias and toxicity in model performance, similar to humans’ correlations between personality traits and toxic behaviors. The findings highlight the additional need to examine content safety besides the efficiency of training or fine-tuning methods for LLM personification, they also suggest a potential for the adjustment of personalities to be a simple and low-cost method to conduct controlled text generation.

Translating literary works has perennially stood as an elusive dream in machine translation (MT), a journey steeped in intricate challenges. To foster progress in this domain, we hold a new shared task at WMT 2023, the second edition of the Discourse-Level Literary Translation. First, we (Tencent AI Lab and China Literature Ltd.) release a copyrighted and document-level Chinese-English web novel corpus. Furthermore, we put forth an industry-endorsed criteria to guide human evaluation process. This year, we totally received 10 submissions from 5 academia and industry teams. We employ both automatic and human evaluations to measure the performance of the submitted systems. The official ranking of the systems is based on the overall human judgments. In addition, our extensive analysis reveals a series of interesting findings on literary and discourse-aware MT. We release data, system outputs, and leaderboard at https://www2.statmt.org/wmt24/literary-translation-task.html.

“双重否定结构是一种“通过两次否定表示肯定意义”的特殊结构,其存在会对自然语言处理中的语义判断与情感分类产生重要影响。本文以“eg eg P== extgreater P”为标准,对现代汉语中所有的“否定词+否定词”结构进行了遍历研究,将双重否定结构按照格式分为了3大类,25小类,常用双重否定结构或构式132个。结合动词的叙实性、否定焦点、语义否定与语用否定等相关理论,本文归纳了双重否定结构的三大成立条件,并据此设计实现了基于规则的双重否定结构自动识别程序。程序实验的精确率为98.85%,召回率为98.90%,F1值为98.85%。同时,程序还从96281句语料中获得了8640句精确率约为99%的含有双重否定结构的句子,为后续基于统计的深度学习模型提供了语料支持的可能。”

本文首先介绍《实词信息词典》的研制目标与结构内容,重点介绍其中的《动词信息词典》的体系结构与理论背景;然后,介绍《动词信息词典》所区分的8种动词小类及其定义,其为动词所设置的22种语义角色及其定义,由这些语义角色的不同配置而造成的20来种句法格式及其例句,其所考察的动词的9种主要的语法功能及其对于该词类的隶属度;最后,给出《动词信息词典》中检索系统的界面截图,交代其相应的纸质版本的情况。
