New method optimizes watermark localization in altered LLM text

Researchers have developed a new method for localizing watermarks in text generated by large language models (LLMs), even when the text has been altered. This approach treats watermark localization as a token-level multiple-testing problem, establishing a sharp boundary for detection and identifying phase transitions for discovery and classification. An adaptive thresholding method is introduced that does not require prior knowledge of signal sparsity or next-token distributions, instead using a data-driven estimate of surviving watermark fractions to achieve optimal discovery performance.
