New research optimizes multi-bit watermarking for LLMs

A new paper by Yu-Shin Huang addresses multi-bit generative watermarking for large language models, focusing on worst-case false-alarm constraints. The research demonstrates that a previously proposed scheme was suboptimal and introduces two novel encoding-decoding constructions that achieve the optimal performance bound. The approach formulates the watermarking problem as a linear program, deriving conditions for optimality and analyzing the tradeoffs between the new schemes. AI

    Optimal Multi-bit Generative Watermarking Schemes Under Worst-Case False-Alarm Constraints

    arXiv:2604.08759v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper considers the problem of multi-bit generative watermarking for large language models under a worst-case false-alarm constraint. Prior work established a lower bound on the achievable miss-detection probability i…
