EnsemJudge: Enhancing Reliability in Chinese LLM-Generated Text Detection through Diverse Model Ensembles

Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely applied across various domains due to their powerful text generation capabilities. While LLM-generated texts often resemble human-written ones, their misuse can lead to significant societal risks. Detecting such texts is an essential technique for mitigating LLM misuse, and many detection methods have shown promising results across different datasets. However, real-world scenarios often involve out-of-domain inputs or adversarial samples, which can affect the performance of detection methods to varying degrees. Furthermore, most existing research has focused on English texts, with limited work addressing Chinese text detection. In this study, we propose EnsemJudge, a robust framework for detecting Chinese LLM-generated text by incorporating tailored strategies and ensemble voting mechanisms. We trained and evaluated our system on a carefully constructed Chinese dataset provided by NLPCC2025 Shared Task 1. Our approach outperformed all baseline methods and achieved first place in the task, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability in Chinese LLM-generated text detection.

HINT: Composed Image Retrieval with Dual-path Compositional Contextualized Network

Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) is a challenging image retrieval paradigm. It aims to retrieve target images from large-scale image databases that are consistent with the modification semantics, based on a multimodal query composed of a reference image and modification text. Although existing methods have made significant progress in cross-modal alignment and feature fusion, a key flaw remains: the neglect of contextual information in discriminating matching samples. However, addressing this limitation is not an easy task due to two challenges: 1) implicit dependencies and 2) the lack of a differential amplification mechanism. To address these challenges, we propose a dual-patH composItional coNtextualized neTwork (HINT), which can perform contextualized encoding and amplify the similarity differences between matching and non-matching samples, thus improving the upper performance of CIR models in complex scenarios. Our HINT model achieves optimal performance on all metrics across two CIR benchmark datasets, demonstrating the superiority of our HINT model. Codes are available at https://github.com/zh-mingyu/HINT.

Exons-Detect: Identifying and Amplifying Exonic Tokens via Hidden-State Discrepancy for Robust AI-Generated Text Detection

The rapid advancement of large language models has increasingly blurred the boundary between human-written and AI-generated text, raising societal risks such as misinformation dissemination, authorship ambiguity, and threats to intellectual property rights. These concerns highlight the urgent need for effective and reliable detection methods. While existing training-free approaches often achieve strong performance by aggregating token-level signals into a global score, they typically assume uniform token contributions, making them less robust under short sequences or localized token modifications. To address these limitations, we propose Exons-Detect, a training-free method for AI-generated text detection based on an exon-aware token reweighting perspective. Exons-Detect identifies and amplifies informative exonic tokens by measuring hidden-state discrepancy under a dual-model setting, and computes an interpretable translation score from the resulting importance-weighted token sequence. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that Exons-Detect achieves state-of-the-art detection performance and exhibits strong robustness to adversarial attacks and varying input lengths. In particular, it attains a 2.2\% relative improvement in average AUROC over the strongest prior baseline on DetectRL.

Beyond Pixels: Vector-to-Graph Transformation for Reliable Schematic Auditing

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown remarkable progress in visual understanding, yet they suffer from a critical limitation: structural blindness. Even state-of-the-art models fail to capture topology and symbolic logic in engineering schematics, as their pixel-driven paradigm discards the explicit vector-defined relations needed for reasoning. To overcome this, we propose a Vector-to-Graph (V2G) pipeline that converts CAD diagrams into property graphs where nodes represent components and edges encode connectivity, making structural dependencies explicit and machine-auditable. On a diagnostic benchmark of electrical compliance checks, V2G yields large accuracy gains across all error categories, while leading MLLMs remain near chance level. These results highlight the systemic inadequacy of pixel-based methods and demonstrate that structure-aware representations provide a reliable path toward practical deployment of multimodal AI in engineering domains. To facilitate further research, we release our benchmark and implementation at https://github.com/gm-embodied/V2G-Audit.

DNA-DetectLLM: Unveiling AI-Generated Text via a DNA-Inspired Mutation-Repair Paradigm

The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has blurred the line between AI-generated and human-written text. This progress brings societal risks such as misinformation, authorship ambiguity, and intellectual property concerns, highlighting the urgent need for reliable AI-generated text detection methods. However, recent advances in generative language modeling have resulted in significant overlap between the feature distributions of human-written and AI-generated text, blurring classification boundaries and making accurate detection increasingly challenging. To address the above challenges, we propose a DNA-inspired perspective, leveraging a repair-based process to directly and interpretably capture the intrinsic differences between human-written and AI-generated text. Building on this perspective, we introduce DNA-DetectLLM, a zero-shot detection method for distinguishing AI-generated and human-written text. The method constructs an ideal AI-generated sequence for each input, iteratively repairs non-optimal tokens, and quantifies the cumulative repair effort as an interpretable detection signal. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art detection performance and exhibits strong robustness against various adversarial attacks and input lengths. Specifically, DNA-DetectLLM achieves relative improvements of 5.55% in AUROC and 2.08% in F1 score across multiple public benchmark datasets.

Reliably Bounding False Positives: A Zero-Shot Machine-Generated Text Detection Framework via Multiscaled Conformal Prediction

The rapid advancement of large language models has raised significant concerns regarding their potential misuse by malicious actors. As a result, developing effective detectors to mitigate these risks has become a critical priority. However, most existing detection methods focus excessively on detection accuracy, often neglecting the societal risks posed by high false positive rates (FPRs). This paper addresses this issue by leveraging Conformal Prediction (CP), which effectively constrains the upper bound of FPRs. While directly applying CP constrains FPRs, it also leads to a significant reduction in detection performance. To overcome this trade-off, this paper proposes a Zero-Shot Machine-Generated Text Detection Framework via Multiscaled Conformal Prediction (MCP), which both enforces the FPR constraint and improves detection performance. This paper also introduces RealDet, a high-quality dataset that spans a wide range of domains, ensuring realistic calibration and enabling superior detection performance when combined with MCP. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that MCP effectively constrains FPRs, significantly enhances detection performance, and increases robustness against adversarial attacks across multiple detectors and datasets.

OneEdit: A Neural-Symbolic Collaboratively Knowledge Editing System

Knowledge representation has been a central aim of AI since its inception. Symbolic Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and neural Large Language Models (LLMs) can both represent knowledge. KGs provide highly accurate and explicit knowledge representation, but face scalability issue; while LLMs offer expansive coverage of knowledge, but incur significant training costs and struggle with precise and reliable knowledge manipulation. To this end, we introduce OneEdit, a neural-symbolic prototype system for collaborative knowledge editing using natural language, which facilitates easy-to-use knowledge management with KG and LLM. OneEdit consists of three modules: 1) The Interpreter serves for user interaction with natural language; 2) The Controller manages editing requests from various users, leveraging the KG with rollbacks to handle knowledge conflicts and prevent toxic knowledge attacks; 3) The Editor utilizes the knowledge from the Controller to edit KG and LLM. We conduct experiments on two new datasets with KGs which demonstrate that OneEdit can achieve superior performance.

A Comprehensive Study of Knowledge Editing for Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown extraordinary capabilities in understanding and generating text that closely mirrors human communication. However, a primary limitation lies in the significant computational demands during training, arising from their extensive parameterization. This challenge is further intensified by the dynamic nature of the world, necessitating frequent updates to LLMs to correct outdated information or integrate new knowledge, thereby ensuring their continued relevance. Note that many applications demand continual model adjustments post-training to address deficiencies or undesirable behaviors. There is an increasing interest in efficient, lightweight methods for on-the-fly model modifications. To this end, recent years have seen a burgeoning in the techniques of knowledge editing for LLMs, which aim to efficiently modify LLMs' behaviors within specific domains while preserving overall performance across various inputs. In this paper, we first define the knowledge editing problem and then provide a comprehensive review of cutting-edge approaches. Drawing inspiration from educational and cognitive research theories, we propose a unified categorization criterion that classifies knowledge editing methods into three groups: resorting to external knowledge, merging knowledge into the model, and editing intrinsic knowledge. Furthermore, we introduce a new benchmark, KnowEdit, for a comprehensive empirical evaluation of representative knowledge editing approaches. Additionally, we provide an in-depth analysis of knowledge location, which can give a deeper understanding of the knowledge structures inherent within LLMs. Finally, we discuss several potential applications of knowledge editing, outlining its broad and impactful implications.
