New paper proposes 'linguistic holonomy' to analyze language model watermarks

A new paper introduces the concept of "linguistic holonomy" to analyze statistical watermarks in language models. The research suggests that current methods, which measure semantic similarity between original and rewritten texts, are insufficient. Instead, the paper proposes that the invariant of meaning-preserving transformations can be broken down into an endpoint component and a "holonomy" in the stabilizer of the initial state, which current semantic deficit measures cannot detect. This new framework reveals that the survival of a watermark signal depends critically on the specific positions of edits, not just the overall semantic similarity. AI
