TL;DR

A hybrid architecture that combines a Transformer-based DistilBERT model with a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) that enhances detection by modeling structural relationships within text data is proposed.

Abstract

Detecting AI-generated text has become a critical task as artificial intelligence systems are increasingly used in content creation. Current detection methods often suffer from limited accuracy and weak multilingual performance. This problem is especially challenging in Turkish, Arabic, and English due to their distinct linguistic structures, including agglutinative morphology in Turkish, root-based morphology in Arabic, and semantic ambiguity in English. To address these challenges, this study proposes a hybrid architecture that combines a Transformer-based DistilBERT model with a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN). While DistilBERT captures rich contextual and semantic information, GCN enhances detection by modeling structural relationships within text data. The proposed model is evaluated against other well-known approaches. Experimental results show that the hybrid DistilBERTGCN framework achieves high detection accuracy, reaching 99% for English and 98% for Turkish and Arabic. In addition, this study introduces new multilingual datasets, contributing to the advancement of the literature research.

A Comparative Benchmark of Specialized Deep Learning Architectures and Fine-Tuned LLMs for Arabic Text Readability

Readability assessment for Arabic remains challenging due to the language's complex morphology. This paper presents a comparative study benchmarking traditional Machine Learning (ML), advanced Deep Learning (DL), and finetuned Large Language Models (LLMs). Utilizing a dataset of 4,519 Arabic sentences categorized into three proficiency levels, we evaluate models across accuracy and computational efficiency. Our results demonstrate that a hybrid CNN-BiLSTM architecture utilizing AraVec (Word2Vec) embeddings achieves a peak accuracy of 96.68%, outperforming fine-tuned LLMs like Llama3.2-1B (94.69%). We provide empirical evidence of the prohibitive resource demands in LLMs, which required significantly higher training times (14,697s) compared to specialized DL models (162.98). These findings suggest that for discrete Arabic text classification, tailored DL architectures provide a superior balance of precision and resource efficiency.
