🇧🇩 Bengali AI-Generated Text Detector (BanglaBERT-SupCon v2)

A state-of-the-art, cross-generator resilient sequence classification model for detecting AI-generated Bengali text.

Fine-tuned on BanglaBERT (csebuetnlp/banglabert) via Supervised Contrastive Learning (SupCon) and calibrated using Temperature Scaling ($T = 1.8816$), this model is specifically engineered to overcome generator-shift vulnerabilities. It reliably catches machine-generated Bengali text across frontier LLMs including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and DeepSeek while strictly preserving genuine human Bengali writing.

🔬 Core Scientific Contributions & Why SupCon

Standard transformer cross-entropy fine-tuning suffers from generator overfitting: models memorize surface-level artifacts, repetitive syntactic templates, and generator-specific phrasing (e.g., DeepSeek's paragraph formatting or Claude's introductory style) rather than intrinsic machine-synthesized semantics. Consequently, traditional detectors experience catastrophic failure when exposed to unseen LLMs.

🌟 Why Supervised Contrastive Learning (SupCon)?

To achieve true generator invariance, our architecture integrates Supervised Contrastive Loss ($$\mathcal{L}{\text{SupCon}}$$) with Label-Smoothing Cross-Entropy ($\mathcal{L}{\text{LS-CE}}$):

$\mathcal{L}_{\text{total}} = \mathcal{L}_{\text{LS-CE}} + \lambda \mathcal{L}_{\text{SupCon}}$

Latent Manifold Clustering: SupCon pulls all AI representations (regardless of whether synthesized by OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or DeepSeek) into a tightly bounded, cohesive hyperspherical cluster, while simultaneously repelling authentic human text in latent space.
Zero-Shot Transfer on Unseen LLMs: When an unobserved generator is tested under Leave-One-Generator-Out (LOGO) conditions, the network classifies it based on its core structural AI signatures rather than memorized generator fingerprints.
Multi-Seed Stability: Delivers near-zero variance across random initializations and consistent 94%+ zero-shot recall.

🧪 Architectural Variants & Ablation Study

To isolate the source of generalizability, we benchmarked 5 distinct architectural paradigms (Methods A through E) under identical Leave-One-Generator-Out (LOGO) protocols:

Method A (A_standard_baseline): Standard BanglaBERT (Cross-Entropy) + Validation Threshold Optimization.
Method B (B_capacity_control): BanglaBERT with Layer-wise LR decay ($0.8$), Weight Decay ($0.05$), and Dropout ($0.25$).
Method C (C_hybrid_char_lsa): Multi-modal fusion of BanglaBERT embeddings + Character $n$-gram Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA).
Method D (D_balanced_sampler): Class-Balanced Dynamic BatchSampler ($8\text{ Human} + 8\text{ AI}$ per optimization step).
Method E (E_supcon - OUR PROPOSED MODEL): Supervised Contrastive Learning + Temperature Scaling Calibration.

Ablation Ladder Summary (LOGO Cross-Validation)

Method ID	Model Architecture & Optimization	Mean LOGO Recall (Std 0.50)	Mean LOGO Recall (Val-Opt)	Mean Human Specificity	Key Diagnostic Observation
Method A	Standard BanglaBERT (CE)	91.91%	90.08%	95.97%	Prone to generator shift on Gemini (81.17% recall).
Method B	Capacity-Controlled Regularization	92.77%	91.64%	94.53%	Marginal gain on Claude/GPT, still struggles with Gemini (82.77%).
Method C	Hybrid BanglaBERT + Char-LSA	97.39%	95.92%	90.39%	High recall but severely degraded human specificity (high false positives on real authors).
Method D	Class-Balanced BatchSampler	91.45%	91.63%	94.19%	Improved gradient stability, but limited generalization boost.
Method E	SupCon + Temp-Calibrated (Ours)	96.16%	94.33% – 94.64%	94.26%	Superior Pareto frontier: Highest invariant recall + robust 94.26% human specificity.

Conclusion: While Method C artificially inflated recall by memorizing character $n$-grams, it degraded human specificity down to ~78% on DeepSeek holdouts (falsely accusing authentic Bengali writers). Method E (SupCon) achieved the only true optimal balance—high invariant recall without penalizing human authors.

📊 Multi-Seed Reproducibility & LOGO Benchmark

To guarantee scientific reproducibility, Method E (SupCon) was evaluated across 3 random seeds ($42, 123, 2024$) across all 4 LOGO folds ($12$ full training and evaluation cycles).

🛡️ How We Overcame Limitations of Prior Bengali Detectors

Prior Bengali AI Detector Limitations	How Our Approach Solves It
1. Severe Subword Fragmentation (mBERT / XLM-R break Bengali words into 3–5 meaningless subword tokens).	Built natively on BUET BanglaBERT, which features dedicated Bengali vocabulary ($32,000$ tokens) keeping fragmentation at an optimal $1.27 - 1.40$ tokens/word.
2. Generator Overfitting & Fragile Memorization (Prior detectors collapse when tested on newer LLMs like Gemini or DeepSeek-R1).	Pioneered Supervised Contrastive Representation Learning (SupCon) to build a generator-invariant manifold, verified via Leave-One-Generator-Out validation.
3. High False Alarm on Genuine Bengali Authors (Detectors penalize formal, academic, or standard Bengali literature).	Validated against a frozen holdout of human texts across 45 domains, guaranteeing $93.82%+$ Human Specificity.
4. Superficial Formatting Exploits (Detectors get fooled by stripping newlines, zero-width characters, or changing punctuation).	Audited via Adversarial Formatting Normalization ($\Delta = +0.0000$ accuracy change), verifying robustness against formatting bypasses.
5. Overconfident Softmax Probabilities (Models outputting 99.9% false certainty on ambiguous samples).	Fitted with Temperature Scaling Calibration ($T = 1.8816$), slashing Expected Calibration Error (ECE) from $3.01%$ down to $1.70%$.
6. Arbitrary 512-Token Truncation (Fails on long essays, mixed-authored reports, and news articles).	Paired with an integrated sentence-snapped sliding window engine ($W=120$, overlap=$40$) and consensus aggregation.

🚀 Quick Start & Inference Guide

1. Minimal `pipeline` Interface

from transformers import pipeline

classifier = pipeline(
    "text-classification",
    model="MahatirTusher/bangla-ai-text-detector",
    return_all_scores=True
)

text = "ভিটেলোজেনিন (Vitellogenin বা Vtg) জিন বিবর্তনের একটি অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ দিক।"
predictions = classifier(text)

print(predictions)
# Output: [[{'label': 'Human', 'score': 0.0178}, {'label': 'AI', 'score': 0.9822}]]

2. PyTorch Inference with Calibrated Temperature Scaling (Recommended)

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

MODEL_ID = "MahatirTusher/bangla-ai-text-detector"
TEMPERATURE = 1.8816

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID)
model.eval()

def detect_bengali_ai(text: str, threshold: float = 0.50):
    inputs = tokenizer(
        text,
        return_tensors="pt",
        truncation=True,
        max_length=256
    )
    
    with torch.no_grad():
        logits = model(**inputs).logits[0]
        # Apply empirical temperature calibration
        calibrated_logits = logits / TEMPERATURE
        probs = torch.softmax(calibrated_logits, dim=-1)
        
    human_prob = float(probs[0].item())
    ai_prob = float(probs[1].item())
    
    verdict = "AI-generated" if ai_prob >= threshold else "Human-written"
    
    return {
        "verdict": verdict,
        "ai_probability": round(ai_prob, 4),
        "human_probability": round(human_prob, 4),
        "confidence": "very_high" if abs(ai_prob - threshold) >= 0.35 else "high" if abs(ai_prob - threshold) >= 0.20 else "moderate"
    }

# Example Test
sample = "বাংলাদেশ দক্ষিণ এশিয়ার একটি নদীমাতৃক ও সার্বভৌম রাষ্ট্র।"
print(detect_bengali_ai(sample))
