Researchers from Team DACTYL have developed advanced AI-generated text detection models, achieving high performance on the PAN 2026 test set. Their approach involves Bayesian data mixing to consolidate training datasets and empirical X-risk minimization for classifier training. The MCGrad model, which calibrates predictions from a ModernBERT-large classifier, achieved the highest score of 0.974, ranking second on the leaderboard, demonstrating the effectiveness of careful dataset curation for out-of-distribution performance.
