Abstract
Jin Zhu examines statistical approaches to identifying text produced by large language models. The increasing availability of fluent generated writing raises questions about misinformation, academic integrity and the authenticity of digital content. Although detection has attracted substantial machine-learning research, the talk argues that its statistical foundations remain underdeveloped. Zhu presents recent work on principled, computationally efficient detection methods, including approaches reported at NeurIPS and ICLR. An interactive demonstration accompanies the research, illustrating one of the proposed methods.
