Diego Molla, Haolan Zhan, Xuanli He, Qiongkai Xu


Abstract
The ALTA shared tasks have been running annually since 2010. In 2023, the purpose of the task is to build automatic detection systems that can discriminate between human-written and synthetic text generated by Large Language Models (LLM). In this paper we present the task, the evaluation criteria, and the results of the systems participating in the shared task.
