摘要：
Google的SynthID-Text是首个生产级生成水印系统，设计了基于竞赛的方法以实现最先进的检测性。系统创新包括：1）新的竞赛采样算法用于水印嵌入，2）基于引入的得分函数（如贝叶斯或均值得分）的检测策略，3）统一设计支持扰动和非扰动水印方法。本文首次对SynthID-Text进行理论分析，重点探讨其检测性能和水印鲁棒性，并辅以实证验证。例如，我们证明均值得分对增加竞赛层具有内在脆弱性，并设计了层膨胀攻击以突破SynthID-Text。我们还证明贝叶斯得分在层方面提供了改进的水印鲁棒性，并进一步确立当参数设为0.5时，最优伯努利分布用于水印检测。这些理论和实证见解不仅加深了我们对SynthID-Text的理解，还为分析有效的水印移除策略和设计鲁棒水印技术开辟了新途径。源代码可在https://github.com/romidi80/Synth-ID-Empirical-Analysis获取。
英文摘要：
Google's SynthID-Text, the first ever production-ready generative watermark system for large language model, designs a novel Tournament-based method that achieves the state-of-the-art detectability for identifying AI-generated texts. The system's innovation lies in: 1) a new Tournament sampling algorithm for watermarking embedding, 2) a detection strategy based on the introduced score function (e.g., Bayesian or mean score), and 3) a unified design that supports both distortionary and non-distortionary watermarking methods. This paper presents the first theoretical analysis of SynthID-Text, with a focus on its detection performance and watermark robustness, complemented by empirical validation. For example, we prove that the mean score is inherently vulnerable to increased tournament layers, and design a layer inflation attack to break SynthID-Text. We also prove the Bayesian score offers improved watermark robustness w.r.t. layers and further establish that the optimal Bernoulli distribution for watermark detection is achieved when the parameter is set to 0.5. Together, these theoretical and empirical insights not only deepen our understanding of SynthID-Text, but also open new avenues for analyzing effective watermark removal strategies and designing robust watermarking techniques.
