Test-time adaptation with semi-supervised learning leverages inference-time homogeneity to maintain AI text detection performance under adversarial humanization, new LLMs, and temporal drift.
LMs systematically inflate expressed certainty during rewriting, affecting up to 75% of outputs with a 1.5-2x bias toward increasing rather than decreasing certainty, and the effect compounds over iterations.
Introduces a triangulation-based metric to quantify lexical shifts attributable to preference tuning without requiring manual curation of examples.
Luminol-AIDetect detects machine-generated text zero-shot by extracting perplexity-based features from an input and its shuffled version, using density estimation to exploit greater dispersion in MGT perplexity under shuffling.
A think-aloud study reveals that AI tools in early research misrepresent uncertainty, obscure provenance, and create fragile trust, leading researchers to develop compensatory strategies to preserve scholarly judgment.
Introduces CounterBench benchmark and CoIn iterative reasoning method showing LLMs perform near random on formal counterfactual tasks but improve substantially with guided backtracking.
Generative AI use in science can be governed through structured documentation and provenance capture by framing AI interactions as inspectable Research Objects rather than debating authorship.
LLM-associated terms increased in prevalence in full-text scientific articles science-wide from 2021 to 2024, with substantial differences between fields.
A minimal ODE model of AI adoption in writing and reviewing predicts a short-term knowledge peak followed by 40% long-term decline unless review acceleration exceeds writing acceleration.
NLI accuracy on research papers declined steadily over time, with Chinese and French showing unexpected resistance while Japanese and Korean declined more sharply in the post-LLM era.
Presents PAT, an agentic AI review tool using inference scaling that claims 34% better math error recall on SPOT benchmark and successful pilots at STOC and ICML conferences.
An LLM semantic-matching framework for journal recommendation reports 40.23% Top-3 accuracy on 23,609 statistics articles from 49 journals without task-specific training.
AI can generate research artifacts faster than it can verify them, so across all eight lifecycle stages the credible deployment mode is human-governed collaboration rather than full autonomy.
A cross-disciplinary review of 151 studies concludes LLMs accelerate research workflows while introducing recurring technical and ethical risks, including ten it flags as underexplored.
