A Prompt in the Right Direction: Prompt Based Classification of Machine-Generated Text Detection

Rinaldo Gagiano, Lin Tian


Abstract
The goal of ALTA 2023 Shared Task is to distinguish between human-authored text and synthetic text generated by Large Language Models (LLMs). Given the growing societal concerns surrounding LLMs, this task addresses the urgent need for robust text verification strategies. In this paper, we describe our method, a fine-tuned Falcon-7B model with incorporated label smoothing into the training process. We applied model prompting to samples with lower confidence scores to enhance prediction accuracy. Our model achieved a statistically significant accuracy of 0.991.
