Highlights
- Rule-based checker validated by two AI annotators: precision 0.84-1.00, recall 0.93-0.95; no human annotation.
- All 11 commercial humanizers changed or dropped at least one number, date, name, or quoted span in 35-65% of documents containing one.
- Jev, asked one zero-shot question, separated human originals from humanized rewrites with AUROC 0.864 (0.827-0.902).
- Jev scored 0.18-0.22 AUROC higher than Binoculars, Fast-DetectGPT, and RADAR, but called 24% of human originals AI at a 0.5 threshold.
- Checker and per-item results are released; hypotheses, data rules, and analyses were frozen before main runs.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
It checks whether numbers, dates, person and organization names, and quoted spans survive AI humanizer rewrites, and it evaluates detector evasion on federal texts with matched human, AI-styled, and humanized versions.
Jev, a general-purpose decision model, was asked a single zero-shot question to separate human originals from humanized rewrites, achieving AUROC 0.864 (0.827-0.902).
It checked retention of numbers, dates, person and organization names, and quoted spans. Two AI annotators validated it with precision 0.84-1.00 and recall 0.93-0.95; no human annotation was used.
In the October 2026 leaderboard cycle, all 11 commercial tools changed or dropped at least one checked unit in 35-65% of documents that contained one. Counting numbers and names alone, 10 of 11 altered at least one in 20% or more of documents.
Jev scored 0.18-0.22 higher AUROC than those detectors. On AI-styled rewrites by 2026 models, both perplexity-based detectors scored below chance (AUROC 0.37 and 0.39), also with line breaks removed.
At a 0.5 threshold, Jev called 24% of human originals AI. Unit retention and detector evasion were not clearly related across tools (Spearman rho = -0.46, 95% CI -0.65 to 0.08).
The checker and per-item results are released. Hypotheses, data rules, and analyses were frozen before the main runs, and two earlier data contacts are disclosed.
