Team GPLSI at AuTexTification Shared Task: Determining the Authorship of a Text

Abstract

AuTexTification is a shared task within the IberLEF workshop which aims to determine whether a text has been generated by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) or a human. The objective of this paper is to report the participation and results of the GPLSI team from the University of Alicante (Spain) in subtask 1: Human or Generated of the AuTexTification challenge for English and Spanish languages. We propose and experiment with different approaches based on Transfer Learning; Ensemble Learning; fine-tuning existing language models, such as RoBERTa or RemBERT; or relying on linguistic features. Our best models for both languages were trained through Transfer Learning techniques, obtaining the 6th and 8th position in the English and Spanish versions of this subtask, respectively. Results obtained in the Spanish-version were close to the top-performing team.
