Classical ML methods show promise in detecting LLM-generated text

Researchers are exploring the use of traditional machine learning models to detect text generated by large language models (LLMs). These classical methods, such as Support Vector Machines and Naive Bayes classifiers, offer advantages in interpretability and efficiency compared to deep learning approaches. While current classical models achieve detection accuracies in the range of 78-90% F1-score, they are still outpaced by deep learning models which reach up to 97%. However, classical methods remain valuable for real-time applications and as complementary systems to more complex deep learning detectors. AI

IMPACT Classical ML offers efficient and interpretable alternatives for AI text detection, potentially enabling wider deployment.
