AI总结:

本文基于M4数据集和250个语言特征,结合LFTK、句法深度、语义与情感度量及PCA分析,识别人类与LLM文本在特征变异性、认知负荷和内容丰富度上的差异。

摘要:

大语言模型(LLM)的快速发展显著提升了其生成自然语言的能力,使LLM生成的文本越来越难以与人类撰写的文本区分。近期研究主要集中于使用LLM将文本分类为人类撰写或机器生成。在本研究中,我们采用不同的方法,基于250个不同的语言特征,对跨越四个领域的文本进行特征剖析。我们选取SemEval 2024 Task 8子任务B中的M4数据集。我们使用LFTK工具自动计算各种语言特征,并额外测量每篇文档的平均句法深度、语义相似度和情感内容。随后,我们对所有计算得到的特征应用二维PCA降维。分析揭示,人类撰写文本与LLM生成文本之间存在显著差异,尤其是在这些特征的变异性方面;我们发现人类撰写文本中的变异性明显更高。这种差异在语言风格约束较宽松的文本体裁中尤为明显。研究结果表明,与LLM生成的文本相比,人类撰写的文本认知负荷更低,语义内容更高,情感内容更丰富。这些洞见强调,有必要纳入有意义的语言特征,以增进对LLM文本输出的理解。

英文摘要:

The rapid advancements in large language models (LLMs) have significantly improved their ability to generate natural language, making texts generated by LLMs increasingly indistinguishable from human-written texts. Recent research has predominantly focused on using LLMs to classify text as either human-written or machine-generated. In our study, we adopt a different approach by profiling texts spanning four domains based on 250 distinct linguistic features. We select the M4 dataset from the Subtask B of SemEval 2024 Task 8. We automatically calculate various linguistic features with the LFTK tool and additionally measure the average syntactic depth, semantic similarity, and emotional content for each document. We then apply a two-dimensional PCA reduction to all the calculated features. Our analyses reveal significant differences between human-written texts and those generated by LLMs, particularly in the variability of these features, which we find to be considerably higher in human-written texts. This discrepancy is especially evident in text genres with less rigid linguistic style constraints. Our findings indicate that humans write texts that are less cognitively demanding, with higher semantic content, and richer emotional content compared to texts generated by LLMs. These insights underscore the need for incorporating meaningful linguistic features to enhance the understanding of textual outputs of LLMs.
