CIC-NLP at GenAI Detection Task 1: Advancing Multilingual Machine-Generated Text Detection

AbstractMachine-written texts are gradually becoming indistinguishable from human-generated texts, leading to the need to use sophisticated methods to detect them. Team CIC-NLP presents work in the Gen-AI Content Detection Task 1 at COLING 2025 Workshop: the focus of our work is on Subtask B of Task 1, which is the classification of text written by machines and human authors, with particular attention paid to identifying multilingual binary classification problem. Usng mBERT, we addressed the binary classification task using the dataset provided by the GenAI Detection Task team. mBERT acchieved a macro-average F1-score of 0.72 as well as an accuracy score of 0.73.
