SenDetEX: Sentence-Level AI-Generated Text Detection for Human-AI Hybrid Content via Style and Context Fusion

Text generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) now rivals human writing, raising concerns about its misuse. However, mainstream AI-generated text detection (AGTD) methods primarily target document-level long texts and struggle to generalize effectively to sentencelevel short texts. And current sentence-level AGTD (S-AGTD) research faces two significant limitations: (1) lack of a comprehensive evaluation on complex human-AI hybrid content, where human-written text (HWT) and AI-generated text (AGT) alternate irregularly, and (2) failure to incorporate contextual information, which serves as a crucial supplementary feature for identifying the origin of the detected sentence. Therefore, in our work, we propose AutoFill-Refine, a high-quality synthesis strategy for human-AI hybrid texts, and then construct a dedicated S-AGTD benchmark dataset. Besides, we introduce SenDe-tEX, a novel framework for sentence-level AIgenerated text detection via style and context fusion. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SenDetEX significantly outperforms all baseline models in detection accuracy, while exhibiting remarkable transferability and robustness.
