 ABSTRACT

The swift advancement of artificial intelligence has resulted in an increase of text produced
by AI, prompting serious questions about how to differentiate between human-authored and
machine-generated materials. In response to this challenge, the AI Text Detection Model has
been created. This model assesses and identifies AI-generated content in diverse contexts,
such as academic, professional, and online spheres. The Model employs advanced Natural
Language Processing (NLP) methodologies and leading-edge deep learning architectures,
including BERT, GPT, and Transformers, to uncover subtle distinctions that set AI writing
apart from human composition. Furthermore, this initiative includes the launch of a browser
extension. By extending detection capabilities to web pages and PDFs, the solution empow-
ers users with tools for AI transparency and informed decision-making in an era dominated
by AI-generated information. The applications of this system span educational institutions,
promoting academic integrity and contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG
4) by fostering equitable and quality education. Furthermore, industries focused on content
moderation and publishing can leverage the model to ensure the credibility of their content.

Introduction
The advent of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) language models, such as OpenAI’s GPT-
4, Google’s Gemini, and Meta’s Llama, has revolutionized content creation, enabling the
generation of text that is often indistinguishable from human writing. These models leverage
sophisticated architectures, including transformer-based neural networks, to produce coher-
ent and contextually relevant text across various domains, from academic essays to profes-
sional reports and social media content. However, this technological leap has introduced
significant challenges, including the risk of misinformation, erosion of trust in digital con-
tent, and threats to academic integrity. In educational settings, students increasingly use AI
tools to complete assignments, raising concerns about originality and learning outcomes. In
professional and media environments, the unchecked use of AI-generated content can un-
dermine credibility and authenticity. This tool is designed to address these challenges by
providing a robust, scalable, and user-friendly system to identify AI-generated text, thereby
fostering transparency and accountability in content creation.

1.1 Background
The development of AI language models has been driven by advancements in Natural Lan-
guage Processing (NLP), particularly the use of attention mechanisms and transformer ar-
chitectures [1]. These models excel at generating human-like text by analyzing vast datasets
and learning complex linguistic patterns. However, their ability to mimic human writing
has created a dual-edged sword: while they enhance productivity, they also enable the rapid
spread of AI-generated content that can be difficult to verify. In academia, the use of AI tools
for assignments has led to concerns about plagiarism and the devaluation of critical thinking
skills. In professional settings, such as journalism and publishing, AI-generated content risks
disseminating misinformation or biased narratives if not properly vetted. Existing detection
methods, such as statistical analysis or rule-based systems, often fail to keep pace with the
sophistication of modern AI models, necessitating advanced detection tools like AITDM that
leverage deep learning to identify subtle linguistic cues [2].

1.2 Motivation
The motivation for developing the project stems from the urgent need to maintain trust and
authenticity in content creation across multiple sectors. In education, educators face the chal-
lenge of distinguishing between original student work and AI-generated submissions, which
can undermine academic integrity and hinder learning. For instance, a student using an AI
tool to generate an essay may bypass the critical thinking and research skills that assignments
are designed to foster. The tool provides educators with a reliable tool to assess the authen-
ticity of submissions by assigning probability scores for AI involvement, enabling informed
decisions about academic evaluations [3]. Beyond education, content moderators in pub-
lishing and media require tools to verify the human origin of articles and reports to prevent
the spread of misinformation. Similarly, corporate environments benefit from detecting AI-
generated text in official communications to ensure credibility. By addressing these needs,
this project supports Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which emphasizes quality
education, and contributes to a broader ecosystem of trust in digital content. The system’s
browser extension and web application further enhance its accessibility, making it a practical
solution for real-time content analysis.

Literature Review
Recent research into AI-generated text detection spans 14 studies that showcase a broad spec-
trum of techniques, evolving from basic rule-based and statistical models to cutting-edge
machine learning and deep learning methods. These studies reflect the growing intricacy
of AI-generated content and the corresponding need for sophisticated detection approaches.
Some focus on sentence-level analysis, employing transformer-based models to uncover dis-
tinctive linguistic features of AI text, such as repetitive phrasing and low perplexity. Others
investigate multi-level contrastive learning by integrating token- and sequence-level data to
improve detection across different AI systems. Additional work explores boundary detec-
tion in hybrid human-AI content, recognizing the increasing use of collaborative writing,
especially in academic environments. Assessments of commercial detectors reveal limita-
tions such as high false-positive rates and difficulties in identifying advanced AI outputs,
while ethical discussions warn against the risks of misclassifying content in professional
and educational contexts. Collectively, these studies highlight notable advancements along-
side persistent challenges, including the need for adaptable models and efficient real-time
processing key considerations in shaping the proposed detection tool.
Despite these advancements, critical research gaps remain that the proposed AI text de-
tection tool aims to address. Many existing systems are tailored to specific AI models,
limiting their generalizability, and often lack integration with user-friendly platforms like
browser extensions for real-time analysis. Scalability for large-scale applications and com-
pliance with data privacy standards, such as GDPR and FERPA, are also underexplored.
Furthermore, the usability of detection tools for non-technical users, such as educators, is of-
ten overlooked, leading to adoption barriers. By building on the strengths of prior research,
the proposed tool introduces a modular, scalable architecture with real-time detection capa-
bilities and intuitive interfaces. Its focus on adaptability through monthly model retraining
and a collaborative platform for user-submitted models ensures resilience against evolving
AI technologies. This review underscores the project’s contributions to fostering equitable
and quality education, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 4, and enhancing trans-
parency and accountability in an AI-driven digital landscape.

 Chapter 2. Literature Review

2.1 Literature Survey

The following studies represent a diverse range of approaches to detecting AI-generated text,
spanning statistical, rule-based, machine learning, and deep learning techniques. Each study
is elaborated to provide deeper insight into its methodology, findings, and relevance to the
proposed tool:
Nguyen and Hamilton [1] explored the integration of attention mechanisms within Graph
Neural Networks (GNNs), aiming to improve the interpretability and effectiveness of graph-
based models. Their work analyzes various attention strategies—such as node-level and
edge-level attention—to selectively focus on important graph components during message
passing. The study demonstrates that attention-enhanced GNNs outperform standard archi-
tectures on multiple benchmark datasets, particularly in node classification and link predic-
tion tasks. While the inclusion of attention layers significantly boosts model expressive-
ness, it also introduces additional computational overhead. This trade-off between accuracy
and efficiency is a key consideration in the design of the proposed tool, which prioritizes
lightweight architectures for scalable deployment.

Guo et al. [2] proposed Detective, a multi-level contrastive learning framework that in-
tegrates token-level and sentence-level representations to enhance detection robustness. By
training on diverse datasets, including outputs from multiple AI models (e.g., GPT-3, Llama)
and human-authored texts, Detective achieves strong generalization, with an F1-score of 89%
across various text types. However, its reliance on computationally intensive contrastive
learning makes it impractical for real-time applications, such as browser extensions. This
computational bottleneck informs the proposed tool’s emphasis on lightweight, scalable pro-
cessing.

Zeng et al. [3] developed a machine learning-based approach to detect boundaries be-
tween human and AI-generated text in hybrid essays, a common scenario in educational
settings. Their model employs attention-based mechanisms to identify stylistic transitions,
achieving 85% accuracy in controlled experiments. While effective for transparency in col-
laborative writing, the approach assumes predefined boundaries, limiting its applicability to
fully AI-generated texts. This constraint highlights the need for the proposed tool to offer
flexible detection across both hybrid and standalone AI content.

Wang et al. [4] introduced SeqXGPT, a sentence-level detection model designed to iden-
tify AI-generated text using sequence-to-sequence learning. The model leverages contextual
embeddings derived from transformer architectures to capture fine-grained linguistic pat-
terns unique to AI-generated text. SeqXGPT was trained on datasets containing outputs
from models like GPT-3, achieving high precision (up to 92%) on controlled datasets. How-
ever, its performance degrades with longer texts or mixed human-AI content, as it struggles

Computer Engineering 4
 Chapter 2. Literature Review

to maintain contextual coherence across extended sequences. This limitation highlights the
need for models that can handle diverse text lengths and hybrid content, a key consideration
for the proposed tool.

Chakraborty et al. [5] investigated the theoretical boundaries of AI text detection through
an information-theoretic lens. They analyzed the minimum text length required for reliable
detection, using metrics like entropy and perplexity to differentiate human and AI-generated
text. Their findings suggest that detection accuracy drops significantly (below 70%) when
AI models produce text closely mimicking human writing, as seen in advanced models like
GPT-4. The study underscores the need for adaptive detection systems that evolve with AI
advancements, informing the proposed tool’s focus on modular and updatable architectures.

Elkhatat et al. [6] conducted a comprehensive evaluation of commercial AI detection

tools, such as Turnitin and Grammarly, which rely on rule-based heuristics and shallow ma-
chine learning algorithms. Their study found that these tools achieve moderate accuracy
(around 75%) but frequently produce false positives, particularly with complex human writ-
ing styles (e.g., technical or creative texts). The high false-positive rate (up to 20%) under-
mines user trust, emphasizing the need for deeper linguistic analysis in the proposed tool to
minimize misclassifications.

Merine et al. [7] explored the risks and benefits of AI-generated text summarization in
graduate-level health informatics. Their experiments revealed that AI summaries often sac-
rifice nuanced details, leading to comprehension challenges for expert readers (e.g., 30%
lower comprehension scores compared to human summaries). The study suggests that de-
tection tools must account for domain-specific linguistic patterns to ensure accuracy. This
insight informs the proposed tool’s aim to incorporate domain-aware detection mechanisms
for specialized fields.

Alser et al. [8] examined the ethical implications of ChatGPT in academia and medicine,
focusing on the risk of misrepresenting AI-generated text as original work. They highlighted
cases where AI-generated medical reports were mistaken for human-authored documents,
posing risks to patient care. The study advocates for detection tools to enforce responsible
AI use, particularly in high-stakes domains. This ethical perspective shapes the proposed
tool’s focus on transparency and accountability in professional settings.

Ifelebuegu [9] investigated the impact of AI chatbots on academic integrity, identifying

a rise in academic dishonesty due to AI-generated assignments. Their analysis showed that
25% of submissions in sampled courses contained AI-generated content, undermining fair-
ness. The study calls for detection systems to support educational integrity, reinforcing the

Computer Engineering 5
 Chapter 2. Literature Review

proposed tool’s focus on educator-friendly interfaces.

Rudolph et al. [10] compared the capabilities of AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Bard,
and Bing Chat, and their impact on higher education. They found that these tools are reshap-
ing academic practices, with 40% of students in surveyed institutions using AI for assign-
ments. The study emphasizes the need for detection tools to maintain educational standards,
as AI-generated content challenges traditional assessments. This trend informs the proposed
tool’s focus on user-friendly detection for educators.

Sullivan et al. [11] explored ChatGPT’s implications for higher education, particularly its
role in generating assignments that bypass plagiarism detection. Their experiments showed
that 15% of AI-generated essays went undetected by existing tools, highlighting gaps in cur-
rent systems. The study advocates for robust detection mechanisms, supporting the proposed
tool’s emphasis on real-time analysis and high accuracy.

Lim [12] evaluated five AI content detection tools designed to identify ChatGPT-generated
text. The study found that while some tools achieved reasonable accuracy (up to 80%), others
struggled with complex or hybrid texts, with false negatives as high as 30%. This inconsis-
tency underscores the need for advanced NLP techniques in the proposed tool to ensure
reliable detection across diverse content types.

Wiggers [13] investigated the reliability of AI text detection tools, concluding that many
fail to accurately distinguish AI-generated from human-written content, with accuracy rates
dropping to 60% for advanced AI outputs. The study highlights weaknesses in rule-based
and shallow ML approaches, calling for deeper linguistic analysis and scalable solutions,
which the proposed tool addresses through transformer-based models and containerized ar-
chitecture.

Aremu [14] explored the complexities of AI text detection, emphasizing the need for
multi-layered approaches combining statistical, ML, and DL techniques. The study suggests
that integrating diverse methods improves detection accuracy, particularly for short or mixed
texts. This insight informs the proposed tool’s ensemble approach, combining multiple mod-
els for enhanced robustness.

Weber-Wulff et al. [15] conducted empirical testing of AI detection tools, revealing sig-
nificant inconsistencies in performance, with accuracy varying from 50% to 85% depending
on the AI model. Their analysis advocates for continuous updates and collaborative plat-
forms to improve detection reliability, aligning with the proposed tool’s modular design and

Computer Engineering 6
 Chapter 2. Literature Review

user-contributed model hub.

The 14 studies collectively illustrate the rapid progress in AI text detection, transitioning
from rudimentary statistical and rule-based methods to sophisticated machine learning and
deep learning frameworks. Transformer-based models, such as those employed in SeqXGPT
and Detective, have significantly improved detection accuracy by capturing subtle linguistic
patterns like repetitive structures and low perplexity, achieving F1-scores up to 92

2.2 Limitations of Existing Systems and Research Gaps

The reviewed studies reveal several critical limitations that hinder the effectiveness of current
AI text detection systems:
• Limited Robustness: Models like SeqXGPT [4] and Detective [2] perform well on
controlled datasets but struggle with real-world texts that combine human and AI con-
tributions or span multiple domains, leading to accuracy drops of up to 20% [15].
• Scalability Challenges: Computationally intensive methods, such as multi-level con-
trastive learning [2], require significant resources, making them impractical for real-
time applications like browser-based detection or processing large-scale submissions
[14].
• Adaptability to Evolving Models: The rapid evolution of AI models (e.g., from GPT-
3 to GPT-4) outpaces detection systems, reducing the effectiveness of approaches like
Chakraborty et al.’s [5] without continuous retraining [13].
• Bias and False Positives: Commercial tools [6] often misclassify complex human
writing as AI-generated, with false-positive rates as high as 20%, undermining user
trust and reliability [12].
• Lack of User-Centric Design: Few systems provide seamless integration with intu-
itive interfaces for non-technical users, limiting adoption in educational and profes-
sional settings [3][10].
• Narrow Scope: Most systems focus on English texts, neglecting multilingual or mul-
timodal content (e.g., text with images), which is increasingly prevalent in digital en-
vironments [7].
These gaps necessitate a detection system that is robust, scalable, adaptive, and user-
friendly, with broad applicability across real-time and diverse text scenarios.

2.3 Problem Statement

content credibility, and trust in digital communication. In educational settings, students’
use of AI tools for assignments undermines learning outcomes and fairness, with studies

Computer Engineering 7
 Chapter 2. Literature Review

indicating that up to 40% of submissions may contain AI-generated content [10]. In pro-
fessional contexts, such as journalism and corporate communications, unverified AI content
risks misinformation and reputational damage. Existing detection systems lack the precision,
scalability, and adaptability to address these challenges effectively, particularly in real-time
applications and across diverse text types. The proposed project aims to develop a compre-
hensive tool to detect AI-generated text accurately and efficiently, fostering transparency and
trust in digital content.

2.4 Objectives
The project seeks to address the identified challenges by achieving the following objectives:
• Develop a highly accurate detection tool using transformer-based models (e.g., RoBERTa,
DeBERTa, and a fine-tuned custom model) to identify AI-generated text with at least
90% precision, recall, and F1 score.
• Enable real-time detection through a browser extension and web application, process-
ing 1,000-word documents in under 10 seconds.
• Implement a scoring mechanism with color-coded visualizations to quantify and high-
light AI involvement for user interpretability.
• Design a modular architecture to facilitate continuous updates and adaptation to new
AI models.
• Provide user-friendly interfaces and customizable settings to cater to educators, con-
tent moderators, and corporate users.
• Comply with data privacy standards, such as GDPR and FERPA, to protect user data
during text analysis.

2.5 Scope
The proposed tool is designed to serve educators, content moderators, and corporate profes-
sionals, with the following scope:
• Core Functionality: Detect AI-generated text in English documents, web pages, and
PDFs, providing probability scores and highlighted sections to indicate AI involve-
ment.
• Applications: Promote academic integrity in education, ensure content authenticity
in publishing and journalism, and verify professional communications in corporate
settings.
• Customization: Allow users to adjust detection thresholds, select models, and cus-
tomize visualization settings (e.g., color schemes).
• Compliance: Adhere to data privacy regulations for secure text handling.
• Future Enhancements: Extend detection to multilingual texts (e.g., Spanish, Man-
darin) and multimodal content. Incorporate user feedback to refine algorithms and

improve accuracy.
By addressing the limitations of existing systems, the project offers a robust solution
for detecting AI-generated text in an increasingly AI-driven digital landscape.

3.2 Overall Description

3.2.1 System Context

This tool operates in a cloud-based environment, accessible via web browsers (e.g.,
Chrome, Firefox). It processes text inputs from users, analyzes them using pre-trained
NLP models, and generates reports with probability scores and highlighted AI-generated
sections. The system is designed for scalability to handle large-scale submissions and
real-time analysis in educational and professional settings.

3.2.2 User Classes and Characteristics

Educators, particularly faculty members in academic institutions, represent a primary

that seamlessly integrates with these platforms, allowing them to upload documents
or scan text directly. An intuitive interface is critical for educators, as many may
not have advanced technical expertise. They require clear, actionable outputs, such
as color-coded visualizations highlighting AI-generated sections and detailed reports
quantifying the likelihood of AI involvement. These reports should include probability
scores, section-specific analyses, and confidence levels to support fair and transparent
decision-making when addressing potential academic dishonesty. Additionally, ed-
ucators value customization options, such as adjustable detection thresholds and the
ability to select specific AI models, to align the tool with their institutional policies

bility, given the time constraints of academic schedules. Faculty members often jug-
gle teaching, grading, and administrative duties, making it essential for the tool to
process submissions quickly—ideally, analyzing 1,000-word documents in under 10
seconds. Scalability is equally important, as educators may need to process multiple
submissions simultaneously, especially during peak grading periods. The tool must
also comply with data privacy standards, such as GDPR, to protect sensitive student
data, ensuring trust in its use within educational settings. Beyond functionality, ed-
ucators seek a tool that supports broader educational goals, such as fostering critical
thinking and original work, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (quality

Proposed System
This project is a system designed to identify AI-generated text in academic, profes-
sional, and digital environments, addressing the growing challenge of distinguishing
machine-authored content from human writing. By leveraging advanced Natural Lan-
guage Processing (NLP) techniques, transformer-based models, and a user-centric de-
sign, the tools provides a scalable, real-time solution for educators, content modera-
tors, and corporate professionals. This chapter elaborates on the system’s design prin-
ciples, architecture, methodology, technical framework, and workflow, highlighting its
novelty and advantages over existing systems. Tables summarize key components, and
a system architecture diagram illustrates the data flow, ensuring a comprehensive and
accessible overview.

5.1 System Overview

This tool is a web-based application and browser extension that detects AI-generated
text in documents (.docx, .pdf, .txt), web pages, and user-selected text snippets. It
uses transformer-based models, such as RoBERTa, DeBERTa, and fine tuned cus-
tom model, to analyze linguistic patterns (e.g., repetitive structures, simplified syntax)
unique to AI-generated content [1]. The system generates probability scores (0–100%)
indicating AI involvement, with color-coded visualizations (e.g., yellow for 50–75%,
red for 75–100%) to highlight suspected sections. Unlike existing systems, which
often lack scalability or adaptability to evolving AI models [6], our tool offers a mod-
ular architecture, user-friendly interfaces, and continuous model updates, making it a
robust solution for fostering academic integrity and content credibility.

5.2 Design Principles

Project design is guided by the following principles:
– Accuracy: Achieve at least 90% precision, recall, and F1-score in detecting AI-
generated text across diverse datasets.
– Scalability: Support large-scale submissions (e.g., 100 simultaneous uploads)
with minimal latency.

24
 Chapter 5. Proposed System

– Modularity: Use a layered architecture to enable easy updates to models and

components.
– User-Centric Design: Provide intuitive interfaces (web dashboard, browser ex-
tension) with customizable settings and accessibility features (WCAG 2.1 com-
pliance).
– Privacy: Ensure secure data handling with encryption (TLS 1.3, AES-256) and
compliance with privacy regulations.
– Adaptability: Allow continuous retraining to counter new AI language models
(e.g., GPT-5, future iterations).
These principles address the limitations of prior systems, such as high computational
costs and lack of user-friendliness [2], ensuring project meets diverse stakeholder
needs.

5.3 System Architecture

The tool adopts a layered architecture comprising four main components: Client Layer,
Application Layer, Model Layer, and Data Layer. Figure 5.1 illustrates the architec-
ture, showing data flow from user inputs to analysis outputs. Table 6.2 summarizes the
modules and their responsibilities.
The AI-Generated Text Detector aims to assist the education system in ensuring aca-
demic integrity by identifying AIgenerated content in students’ assignments. With the
growing accessibility of AI writing tools, it has become essential for educators to verify
the originality of submitted work. The proposed system will provide an easy-to-use
browser extension and web application, allowing users to analyze text by uploading
documents, selecting sections, or performing full-page scans. The system utilizes ma-
chine learning models, trained on huge effective datasets, to accurately differentiate
between human and AI-generated text. Results will be visually highlighted using a
color-coded scheme, indicating confidence levels of AI detection, helping educators
quickly identify questionable content.By combining NLP techniques with an intuitive
interface, the proposed system enhances transparency and empowers educators to up-
hold academic standards effectively.
The AI text detection system employs a containerized, microservices-based architec-
ture to ensure scalability, modularity, and efficient processing, as illustrated in the pro-
vided document’s Figure 2. The architecture integrates frontend, backend, and model
orchestration components, leveraging modern technologies outlined in Table 5.2.
The frontend consists of a React-based web dashboard (Model Hub) for managing
models, viewing results, and customizing settings, and a browser extension built with
Plasmo for seamless web interaction. The backend, implemented using Django, han-
dles API requests, user authentication, and communication with the MySQL database
and AI model containers. A load balancer distributes requests across multiple AI

ance and scalability. The MySQL database stores user accounts, model metadata, and
analysis logs, while Docker containerization, orchestrated via Kubernetes or Docker
Swarm, supports modularity and efficient resource allocation. The system is deployed
on AWS, utilizing EC2 for compute, S3 for storage, and Lambda for serverless tasks,
with HTTPS and TLS 1.3 securing data transfers.

5.4 Methodology
The methodology for the proposed AI text detection tool combines advanced Natu-
ral Language Processing (NLP), machine learning, and software engineering to de-
liver accurate, scalable, and user-friendly detection of AI-generated text. This section
outlines the comprehensive approach, encompassing data processing, model training,
system architecture, frontend and backend implementation, API design, and scoring
mechanisms. The process is designed to support real-time analysis, and adaptability to
evolving AI models, addressing limitations identified in prior studies [4; 6; 5; 2]. The
methodology is structured into four core stages, detailed in Table 5.3, with additional
components for implementation and deployment.

5.4.1 Model Training and NLP Pipeline

The core of the detection system lies in its NLP pipeline, which processes text through
four stages: data preprocessing, model training, feature extraction, and inference/scoring
(Table 5.3). During data preprocessing, input text from documents (.docx, .pdf, .txt up
to 10MB) or web pages is cleaned, tokenized using libraries like PyPDF2, and nor-
malized to extract linguistic features such as n-grams, syntax patterns, and perplexity.

Computer Engineering 27
 Chapter 5. Proposed System

This stage ensures consistency across diverse input formats.

Table 5.3: NLP Pipeline Stages for AI Text Detection

Stage Description
Data Preprocess- Cleans and tokenizes input text, extracts linguistic
ing features (e.g., n-grams, syntax patterns), and normal-
izes formats for consistent analysis.
Model Training Fine-tunes RoBERTa and DeBERTa on diverse
datasets (e.g., GPT-4 outputs, human essays), opti-
mizing for precision and recall.
Feature Extrac- Identifies AI-specific patterns (e.g., repetitive phrases,
tion low perplexity) using attention mechanisms [1].
Inference and Generates probability scores (0–100%) for AI in-
Scoring volvement, with ensemble methods to enhance ro-
bustness.

In the model training phase, transformer-based models, RoBERTa and DeBERTa, are
fine-tuned on a balanced dataset comprising AI-generated texts (e.g., from GPT-4,
Llama) and human-authored texts (e.g., academic essays, news articles). Training
occurs on cloud GPUs (AWS EC2), with hyperparameter tuning (e.g., learning rate,
batch size) to achieve over 90% F1-score, addressing robustness challenges noted in
[5]. Regular retraining, scheduled monthly, mitigates model drift as AI text generators
evolve. The feature extraction stage employs attention mechanisms [1] to identify
AI-specific patterns, such as repetitive phrases or low perplexity, which are critical
for distinguishing AI-generated content [4]. Finally, the inference and scoring stage
uses ensemble methods to generate probability scores (0–100%) for AI involvement,
enhancing detection accuracy over single-model approaches [2].

5.4.2 Scoring Mechanisms

The system employs a series of mathematical formulas to compute and optimize detec-
tion scores, ensuring accurate identification of AI-generated content. These formulas,
detailed below, are applied to both full-page and section-level analyses, with results
normalized and weighted for consistency.
1. Full Page Score Formula: Calculates the overall probability of a page containing
AI-generated content, weighted by section length:

∑N
i=1 |si | · P(si = fake)
FPscore =
∑N i=1 |si |

where:
- FPscore : Full page score.
- si : Length of section i.

Computer Engineering 28
 Chapter 5. Proposed System

- P(si = fake): Probability of section i being AI-generated.

- N: Total number of sections.
An example calculation is shown in Table 5.4, yielding a score of 0.64 (64% AI-
generated).

Table 5.4: Example Calculation of Full Page Score

Section Length (|si |) Probability Contribution

(P(si = fake)) (|si | · P(si ))
1 600 0.75 450
2 250 0.55 137.5
3 150 0.35 52.5
Total 1000 640
640
Note: FPscore = 1000 = 0.64 (64% AI-generated).

2. Section Score Formula: Computes the weighted probability of AI-generated content

within a section:
Sscore = |si | · P(si = fake)

where Sscore is the section score. Table 5.5 illustrates this for the same sections.

Table 5.5: Example Calculation of Section Scores

Section Length (|si |) Probability Section Score

(P(si = fake)) (Sscore )
1 600 0.75 450
2 250 0.55 137.5
3 150 0.35 52.5

3. Normalized Score Formula: Ensures consistency by normalizing section scores

relative to the highest score:

Sscore
Nscore =
max(Sscore )

where Nscore is the normalized score. Table 5.6 shows normalized scores for compari-
son.
4. Final Weighted Score Formula: Balances the computed page score with historical
data:
Fscore = α · FPscore + (1 − α) · Priorscore

where:
- Fscore : Final weighted score.

Computer Engineering 29
 Chapter 5. Proposed System

Table 5.6: Example Calculation of Normalized Scores

Section Section Score Normalized

(Sscore ) Score (Nscore )
1 450 1.00
2 137.5 0.31
3 52.5 0.12
Note: Normalized relative to max(Sscore ) = 450.

- α: Weight factor (e.g., 0.80).

- Priorscore : Historical score.
An example calculation (with FPscore = 0.64, Priorscore = 0.50, α = 0.80) yields:

Fscore = 0.80 · 0.64 + (1 − 0.80) · 0.50 = 0.616

Table 5.7 summarizes this.

Table 5.7: Example Calculation of Final Weighted Score

Weight (α) Computed Prior Final Score

Score Score (Fscore )
(FPscore )
0.80 0.64 0.50 0.616

These scoring mechanisms ensure precise and interpretable results, addressing usabil-
ity gaps in existing tools [6].

5.4.3 Frontend Implementation

The frontend is implemented as a browser extension using Plasmo, a framework sup-

porting TypeScript and React, and a React-based web dashboard. Plasmo simplifies
extension development by auto-generating the ‘manifest.json‘ file, allowing focus on
functionality. The extension offers three analysis options: full-page scanning, selected
text scanning, and clipboard text scanning. Results are displayed with color-coded
highlights based on AI probability scores:
- Below 50%: Light blue-grey.
- 50–70%: Yellow (default, customizable).
- 71–100%: Red (default, customizable).
As seen in 5.2 For selected text scanning, a background script adds a “Scan Text” op-
tion to Chrome’s context menu, appearing when text is selected. The selected text is
sent to the API, which returns a probability score for highlighting. Full-page scan-

ning involves a floating button at the bottom-right corner of the webpage, transitioning
through four states (Table 5.8):

Table 5.8: States for Full-Page Scanning

State Description
Normal Default state, button ready for user interaction.
Loading Initiated on button click, indicates ongoing section-
by-section analysis.
Success Displays percentage of AI-generated content upon
scan completion.
Error Shows error message if scan fails.

Figure 5.3: Transition of State

Text is segmented into paragraphs for webpages and sentences for PDFs, with extrac-
tion handled client-side. The extension settings, accessible via a popup interface, allow
users to enable automatic scanning, adjust highlight colors, and switch AI models (de-
fault: ‘openai-base-roberta‘). A Trie data structure optimizes model search, enabling
fast prefix-based retrieval of model names, supporting dynamic updates as new models
are added.

Computer Engineering 31
 Chapter 5. Proposed System

5.4.4 Backend Implementation

The backend, built with Django, follows a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architec-
ture, integrating seamlessly with Python-based AI models. It manages API endpoints,
user authentication (via OAuth 2.0 and JWT), and communication with a MySQL
database storing user accounts, model metadata, and logs. The Model Hub supports
model uploads and execution, with models stored as Python scripts or accessed via API
endpoints. Docker containerization isolates the Django API, AI models, and database,
with a load balancer routing requests for scalability. User-submitted models run in a
sandbox environment to ensure security, addressing vulnerabilities noted in [3].

5.4.5 API Design

The REST API, developed using Django REST Framework with JSON as the data
format, includes public and private endpoints for text analysis and model management.
Key endpoints include:
- POST /api/v1: Analyzes text using specified models (e.g., RoBERTa, DeBERTa, or
fine-tuned variants). The request contains: - ‘text‘: Text to analyze. - ‘model‘: Model
name. The response includes a ‘probability AI-generated‘ field (0–100%) with a 200
status code for success, or 400/500 for client/server errors with error messages.
- GET /api/v1/models: Lists available models, returning an array with fields: ‘name‘,
‘description‘, ‘author‘, and ‘type‘ (Python script or API endpoint).
The API supports integration, enabling automated analysis of student submissions, a
novel feature compared to existing systems [3].

5.4.6 System Workflow

The user interaction workflow, summarized in Table 5.9, ensures efficient processing
from text input to report generation, completing in under 10 seconds for 1,000-word
documents.

Table 5.9: AI Text Detection User Interaction Workflow

Step Description
Text Input User uploads a document or selects text via the web
dashboard or browser extension.
Preprocessing System validates input, extracts text, and preprocesses
it for analysis.
Analysis NLP models analyze text, generating a probability
score and feature metrics.
Visualization Results are displayed with color-coded highlights and
a detailed report.
Output User can view score of AI generated content

Computer Engineering 32
 Chapter 5. Proposed System

1. Text Input: Users upload files (.docx, .pdf, .txt up to 10MB) via the web dashboard’s
drag-and-drop interface or select text using the browser extension’s context menu.
2. Preprocessing: Text is extracted (e.g., using PyPDF2 for PDFs), tokenized, and
analyzed for linguistic features like n-grams and perplexity.
3. Analysis: The Model Layer processes text through RoBERTa and DeBERTa, pro-
ducing probability scores and identifying AI-generated sections.
4. Visualization: Results appear in the dashboard or extension pop-up, with high-
lighted text (yellow: 50–75%, red: 75–100%) and feature details (e.g., “High repeti-
tion detected”).
5. Output: Users can view score, with options to adjust thresholds or save analysis
history.

5.4.7 Key Storage and Caching

The system uses a caching mechanism with keys formatted as <model>-<hash>,
where ‘model‘ is the AI model name and ‘hash‘ is a 32-bit integer generated by a
Jenkins hash function variant. This non-cryptographic hash optimizes cache perfor-
mance by balancing speed and collision resistance, enabling efficient score retrieval
[14].

5.4.8 Advantages and Integration

The methodology addresses limitations of existing systems [4; 6; 2] by offering real-
time detection (<10 seconds), and user-friendly interfaces. The modular design and
monthly retraining ensure adaptability to new AI models, while Docker and AWS
deployment support scalability for 100+ simultaneous uploads. GDPR/FERPA com-
pliance ensures secure data handling, critical for educational use. The system’s focus
on academic integrity aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4, providing a robust
solution for educators and content moderators.

Implementation Details
6.1 Implementation Overview
The implementation phase, conducted from November 2024 to Feburary 2024, focused
on developing the core components of tools: the web application, browser extension,
NLP pipeline. The process followed an agile methodology, with iterative development
and continuous testing to ensure alignment with the SRS goals (e.g., 90% detection
accuracy, <10s processing time for 1,000-word documents). The team - comprising
Mohamed Husein Panjwnai (NLP), Karan Mehta (backend), Tanvi Chiman (frontend /
extension) and Kajol Bhandari (testing / documentation) used a combination of open-
source tools, cloud services, and custom code to build a user-friendly, scalable system.

The success of AITDM is just the beginning. As AI language models evolve—think
GPT-5 and beyond—AITDM is poised to lead the charge in ensuring digital authen-
ticity. The future holds exciting possibilities to enhance its capabilities, address limi-
tations, and expand its reach, transforming AITDM into a global standard for AI text
detection. Below, we outline a visionary roadmap that blends practicality with ambi-
tion, inviting readers to imagine a world where technology and trust go hand in hand.
– Multilingual Mastery: AITDM currently excels in English, but the future de-
mands global inclusivity. By training RoBERTa and DeBERTa on multilingual
datasets (e.g., Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic), we aim to support diverse languages,
enabling educators and moderators worldwide to combat AI-generated content.
This aligns with the global push for equitable education [6].
– Conquering Short Texts: Detection accuracy for texts under 50 words remains
a challenge, with a 10% higher false positive rate [5]. Developing specialized
stylometric models and leveraging micro-feature analysis (e.g., punctuation pat-
terns) could boost accuracy to 90% for short texts, perfect for social media or
chat analysis.

 Chapter 9. Conclusion and Future Scope

– Blazing Speed with Edge Computing: While 8.2 seconds per 1,000 words is
impressive, we envision slashing this to 5 seconds by deploying AITDM on edge
devices. Hybrid cloud-edge architectures will reduce latency and cloud depen-
dency, ensuring seamless performance even in low-connectivity environments.
– Collaborative Analysis: Imagine teams of moderators or educators analyzing
texts in real-time, sharing insights via a collaborative AITDM dashboard. By in-
tegrating WebSocket technology, we can enable live annotations and discussions,
enhancing applications in journalism, legal review, and content moderation.
