Abstract
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized code generation, automating programming with remarkable efficiency. However, this has had important consequences for programming skills, ethics, and assessment integrity, thus making the detection of LLM-generated code essential for maintaining accountability and standards. While, there has been some previous research on this problem, it generally lacks domain coverage and robustness, and only covers a small number of programming languages. Here, we aim to bridge this gap. In particular, we propose a framework capable of distinguishing between human-written and LLM-generated program code across multiple programming languages, code generators, and domains. We use a large-scale dataset from renowned platforms and LLM-based code generators, alongside applying rigorous data quality checks, feature engineering, and comparative analysis of traditional machine learning models, pre-trained language models (PLMs), and LLMs for code detection. We perform an evaluation on out-of-domain scenarios, such as detecting authorship and hybrid authorship of generated code and generalizing to unseen models, domains, and programming languages. Our extensive experiments show that our framework effectively distinguishes human-written from LLM-generated program code, setting a new benchmark for the task.

1 Introduction
Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated their remarkable ability to generate outputs that closely emulate human-written content (Jiang et al., 2024). This has spurred exponential growth in research, with publications on LLM-based code generation in leading venues rising from a single article in 2018 to 140 in 2024 (Chang et al., 2024). Moreover, these developments promise to accelerate software development, automate routine tasks, and boost productivity.

At the same time, the rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI) generative systems has posed major concerns, particularly related to accountability and ethical use of this technology (Al-kfairy et al., 2024). Machine-generated code can be exploited to create obfuscated scripts, introduce vulnerabilities, and produce deceptive artifacts that are difficult to trace (Bukhari, 2024). Thus, it is important to develop tools that can detect machine-generated content, e.g., tracing AI-assisted commits could empower code reviewers to proactively mitigate risks. In academia, the use of LLMs for completing written assignments undermines educational integrity, with professors unknowingly grading machine-generated submissions (Koike et al., 2024; Ma et al., 2023). Alarming, more than 60,000 scientific articles in the past year alone have shown evidence of machine-generated content (Gray, 2024).

Accountability is equally critical for talent hiring and candidate evaluation. Employers must verify that the code submitted by a candidate truly reflects their actual abilities. Without robust detection mechanisms, generative AI could lead to misleading assessments. Moreover, detecting the use of LLM-generated code is essential for developing more effective code-based LLMs; since these systems depend on human-written samples for training, accurately detecting AI-generated code helps curate higher-quality training datasets.

Previous work has proposed frameworks for detecting machine-generated code, including contrastive learning with a UniXcoder-based semantic encoder (Xu et al., 2025) and machine learning (ML) models that analyzed Claude 3-generated code in the CodeSearchNet dataset (Rahman et al., 2024). That work has focused on a single API-based code copilot, but today we face a growing prevalence of a variety of open-weights LLMs as well as locally deployable LLM-based code assistants.
Despite previous efforts, this evolving state of LLMs de facto highlights the urgent need for reliable curated large-scale high-quality code data with various programming languages and methods to distinguish between human-written and LLM-generated code to mitigate risks and maintain accountability in software development and academic integrity (Chang et al., 2024). With this in mind, addressing the aforementioned limitations is crucial, as LLMs are designed to generate code across various languages and domains1 and its form: functions, classes, and arbitrary code snippets.

Here, we aim to bridge these gaps by constructing a first-of-its-kind large-scale, multi-lingual, multi-domain, and multi-generator dataset comprising \( \approx 500K \) samples of human- and LLM-written code. The dataset spans class-level and function-level code, as well as competitive and industrial programming contexts. We further propose models for detecting LLM-generated code, and we evaluate their performance in extreme out-of-domain (OOD) settings: detecting unseen models, unseen domains, and unseen programming languages. We aim to answer the following research questions (RQs):

• (RQ1) How do traditional detection methods compare vs. advanced deep neural network (DNN)-based models to effectively identify machine-generated code?

• (RQ2) Are detection models capable of accurately attributing machine-generated code to the specific language model that produced it?

• (RQ3) Can detection models generalize robustly across different code-generating models, domains, programming languages, and hybrid-authorship scenarios?

We make the following contributions:

• We introduce a novel corpus and benchmark designed for studying machine-generated and human-written code. Spanning a wide array of models, domains, and programming languages, providing a diverse and large-scale foundational resource for further research.

• We repurpose existing code-related models, fine-tuning them to identify machine-, human- and hybrid-written code.

• We analyze the performance of these models from multiple perspectives: (i) authorship and hybrid authorship identification, (ii) unseen code generators, (iii) unseen domains, (iv) unseen programming languages, and (iv) mixed authorship scenario: when LLMs not just generate the code, but rather complement or rewrite human-written code.

• We release our data and code2, and we are committed to continuously updating our repository with additional generators, domains, and languages in the future.

In this section, we discuss related work, focusing on resources and models for detecting machine-generated code.

Resources: Major advancements have been made in developing benchmarks to evaluate LLMs for code generation, covering various domains. Chen et al. (2021) introduced 164 Python problems with function signatures and unit tests, extended by Liu et al. (2023) with 80x more test cases, while Muenninghoff et al. (2024) added tasks such as code synthesis in six languages. Austin et al. (2021) provided 974 entry-level Python problems and Yin et al. (2018) curated 597K Python code generation samples. Yu et al. (2018) evaluated text-to-SQL queries across 138 domains, Iyer et al. (2018) tested near zero-shot Java class generation, and Wang et al. (2023c) focused on execution-based Python code generation. The generation of pragmatic codes was assessed by Yu et al. (2024), robustness was evaluated by Wang et al. (2023a), while Babe et al. (2024) examined student-authored prompts. Finally, Zhuo et al. (2025), Du et al. (2024), and Zhang et al. (2024) targeted cross-domain, class-level, and multi-lingual tasks, respectively. Athiwaratkun et al. (2023) adapted Austin et al.

Machine-generated code detection: Nguyen et al. (2024) proposed a binary classifier to detect ChatGPT-generated code in Python and Java, using the CodeSearchNet dataset (Husain et al., 2019). Xu et al. (2025) demonstrated contrastive learning on a 500K sample parallel corpus to improve detection, and Idialu et al. (2024) employed stylometric features to identify GPT-4-generated code at the class level. However, these studies are limited to function-level or Python-based detection, underscoring the need for broader datasets and methods for diverse languages and domains.

Machine-generated text detection: Wang et al. (2024b) and Guo et al. (2023) created large-scale datasets to improve detection across domains, languages, and generators. Abassy et al. (2024) introduced a tool for more fine-grained detection. Statistical methods such as perplexity analysis were introduced by Gehrmann et al. (2019), while Verma et al. (2024) explored text statistics for effective detection. Mitchell et al. (2023) and Bao et al. (2024) showcased tools such as GPTZero and Fast-DetectGPT to distinguish human-written and machine-generated text, but Pan et al. (2024) revealed limitations in the detection of LLM-generated code, emphasizing the need for better solutions.

3 CoDet-M4 Dataset Construction

3.1 Data Collection

Our work focuses on the most wide-spread programming languages3. We combined data from multiple sources to build our dataset. As a foundation, we used the dataset by Pan et al. (2024), which primarily includes Python code from LeetCode4, GeeksForGeeks5, and W3Resource6, comprising 5,069 problems with 13 prompts for code generation (dataset under CC BY 4.0 License). Additionally, we collected 2,800 human-written solutions in C++ and Java from LeetCode, we further refer to it as a LeetCode data, focusing on class-level human- and machine-generated code examples. We also retrieved human-written solutions from a publicly available Kaggle dataset7, containing 2,523 CodeForces problems with solutions in Python, C++, and Java. Filtering for solutions that passed all CodeForces test cases, this dataset resulted in 103,792 codes: 41,402 in C++, 32,145 in Python and 30,245 in Java.

To ensure coverage across multiple domains, we included human-written code in C++, Java, and Python from GitHub using the CodeSearchNet dataset (Husain et al., 2019), and GitHub API. We chose this dataset because it was released in 2019, predating the widespread use of AI for code generation. In total, we collected 135,566 human-written code samples from GitHub: 60,000 in Python, 59,998 in Java, and 15,568 in C++ (mainly collected using the API). This portion of our dataset

is specifically designed for function-level LLM-generated code detection.

Overall, the language distribution in our dataset is imbalanced, as shown in Figure 4 (Appendix B). Java and Python are represented in nearly equal proportions, with slightly fewer C++ codes. A similar pattern is observed in the distribution of data sources: GitHub and LeetCode contribute nearly equal amounts of code, while CodeForces provides slightly fewer samples, as shown in Figure 5 (Appendix B). More details about the data distribution are given in the Appendix B.

3.2 Code Generation

For code generation, we use open-source state-of-the-art models that are lightweight enough (7-8B parameters) to be run locally, aligning with our focus on easily deployable systems. In addition, we included GPT-4o, one of the most accurate and widely used proprietary LLMs, to benchmark against open-source alternatives. To select the most promising open-source models, we refer to the BigCode models leaderboard8, which leads us to choose the following: CodeLlama (7B) (Codellama, 2023), Llama3.1 (8B) (Llama, 2024), CodeQwen 1.5 (7B) (Qwen, 2023), and Nxcode-orpo (7B), a version of CodeQwen fine-tuned using monolithic preference optimization without reference models (Hong et al., 2024).

The generation process employs domain-specific prompts, as shown in the Appendix E. All models were served using vLLM9 to simulate real-world inference scenarios. To introduce variability in the generated outputs, we used random temperature values ranging from 0.4 to 1.

For datasets derived from LeetCode problems and GitHub repositories, we distributed tasks across different code generators. In contrast, for CodeForces problems, solutions were generated for each problem using all the selected models. Moreover, all code generation was performed in the three programming languages (Python, Java, and C++) to ensure diversity in the dataset. The experiments and the generation with other programming languages are described in § 4.5.3.

3.3 Quality Assurance

Ensuring high-quality data is critical for achieving strong performance, thus we implemented several measures to preserve the integrity of the dataset.

For human-written code from CodeForces and LeetCode, we included only solutions that passed all test cases in their respective systems. Automated parsing was supplemented with manual checks to remove HTML tags and other artifacts. For LLM-generated code, we filtered irrelevant responses and extracted code from the LLM output.

After collecting the datasets, we removed all comments and docstrings using regular expressions, followed by manual inspection. We also filtered codes based on length, excluding those below the 5th or above the 95th percentile in the token count for each language. Finally, we deduplicated the dataset to prevent potential code memorization.

3.4 Resulting Dataset

After cleaning the dataset, we divided it into train, validation, and test splits in an 8:1:1 ratio, ensuring an equal target distribution across the splits. While we balanced the targets, we retained the inherent language-based imbalances in the sources (e.g., fewer Python solutions than C++ solutions for CodeForces problems). The dataset statistics are presented in Table 1.

To ensure consistency in code characteristics, we compared the average Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) depth across splits. As shown in Figure 1, the distributions are largely similar, with the LLM-

4 Experiments & Results

In this section, we detail our experiments aimed at developing models to detect LLM-generated code. We evaluate these models under extreme conditions, including unseen models, unseen languages, and code from the unseen domains (more precisely: unseen code sources and unseen code structures).

4.1 Experimental Setup

We used both traditional machine learning approaches and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to identify LLM-generated code. We set a zero-shot classifier as a baseline using Fast-DetectGPT (Bao et al., 2024), as one of the most updated and robust zero-shot AI-generated content detectors.

For the traditional approach, we followed a methodology similar to (Idialu et al., 2024), using SVM and the CatBoost gradient booster algorithm (Prokhorenkova et al., 2018) to make predictions based on the statistical features of the code. These features included average line length, maximum length of decision operators, function density (number of function definitions per line of code), average function length, whitespace ratio, average variable name length, maintainability index, Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) depth, number of assignment operators, and AST node density for all AST node types. This resulted in over 500 features. Since not all code samples shared the same properties, many features were sparse. To address this, we retained only the features with no more than 20% missing values. Given that the number of features was significantly smaller than the number of samples, we trained the SVM with an RBF kernel using the primal formulation instead of the dual. For the CatBoost model, we trained 2,000 trees, as determined to be optimal based on a grid search optimizing the validation F1-score. Additionally, the learning rate for CatBoost was automatically set to 0.1, which balanced convergence speed and performance.

For DNN-based methods, we tested multiple models that serve as code encoders. CodeBERT, a variant of the BERT model pre-trained on both text and code data (Feng et al., 2020). UniXcoder, a model with cross-modal (AST and text) representation of text and code, trained to be used as encoder, decoder, or both (Guo et al., 2022). CodeT5, a T5 fine-tuning for multiple code-related tasks such as code completion, text-to-code generation, code retrieval, duplicate detection, etc. (Wang et al., 2023b). All of these models were trained in similar settings: for five epochs with initial learning rate of \(3e-4\), weight decay of \(1e-3\), batch size of 256, and a linear learning rate scheduler.

Evaluation Measures: To evaluate the performance of the models, we used the Macro F1 score\(^{10}\) (F), precision (P), and recall (R). We also report accuracy (A), since the classes are nearly balanced.

4.2 LLM-generated Code Detection

Regarding RQ1, Table 2 shows that the models can almost perfectly identify the LLM-generated code. Even simpler models such as SVM and CatBoost perform considerably better. In Appendix G, we explore what enables these simple models to identify LLM-generated code. Moreover, we also analyze the performance of the model for each programming language, data source, and generator.

As shown in Table 3, despite a small language imbalance in the dataset, our DNN-based models exhibit consistent performance across the three programming languages. In contrast, models based on handcrafted statistical features show varying performance. This variation may be due to our handcrafted features not being optimized or effective for certain languages, such as Python, which experiences the most significant drop in performance. Conversely, the embeddings used in DNNs are more consistent across languages. The baseline significantly lags behind other models.

Table 4 indicates that the performance of the model varies between different data sources. All models except UniXcoder perform worst on LeetCode data, which could be attributed to mixing LeetCode with other platforms in this set, leading to slight differences in question types. Moreover, confusion matrices for the best model across languages and sources are available in Figures 12 and 13 (Appendix H), respectively.

4.3 Can LLMs Detect Machine-Generated Code and Authorship?

We also ran experiments with GPT-4o, to check if it is able to identify machine-generated code. Table 5 shows that even with few-shot learning (given random samples) GPT-4o performs worse than our traditional machine learning models and PLMs. One-shot learning yields the best performance, while 3-shot learning slightly degrades the results, possibly due to increased prompt complexity or noise introduced by additional examples. This highlights that GPT-4o faces challenge in identifying machine-generated code.

Moreover, we evaluated the authorship identification capabilities of GPT-4o<sub>1</sub> and Table 6 shows that the best accuracy is achieved when identifying the code written by the model itself, but it is still not comparable to PLMs and traditional machine learning models.

Overall, GPT-4o proved to be ineffective at identifying generated code, even with handcrafted instructions and few-shot samples, leading us to exclude it from further experiments. Handcrafted prompts are available in the Appendix C.

written code. The better performance of DNNs can be attributed to their ability to learn complex, high-dimensional representations that generalize across diverse code patterns and nuances. Unlike classical models, which rely on predefined statistical features, DNNs effectively capture hidden stylistic and structural characteristics unique to each LLM, enabling more accurate authorship recognition.

Among DNNs, UniXcoder is superior in this task, but the performance of this model is still not ideal. Figure 2 shows that the main confusion occurs between the Nxcode and CodeQwen1.5 models, it is reasonable, since, as stated in § 3.2, both are versions of CodeQwen1.5, but Nxcode uses another training approach. Overall, these results suggest that LLMs have a unique way of writing code, which can be identified.

4.5 Out-of-Domain Experiments

To address RQ3, which pertains to the robustness of machine-generated code detection systems in unseen settings, we evaluate the generalizability of our models by conducting a series of experiments in an out-of-domain (OOD) setup.

4.5.1 Unseen Models

To evaluate the models’ ability to detect code generated by LLMs not present in our dataset, we used a dataset by Idrisov and Schlippe (2024). This dataset contains solutions to LeetCode problems generated by seven LLMs in three programming languages, resulting in a total of 126 samples.

The models used in this experiment are: GPT 3.5, BingAI (GPT-4), GitHub Copilot, StarCoder (Li et al., 2023) (15.5B), CodeLlama (13B), CodeWhisperer (black-box LLM by Amazon), Instruct-CodeT5+ (16B). Among these models, BingAI, GPT-3.5, and CodeLlama (13B) should demonstrate if our models are capable of adapting to other versions of the models used in dataset, while the rest of the models should illustrate how well our classifiers predict on absolutely unseen models.

Table 8 shows that our models consistently identify LLM-generated code, even when it is produced by LLMs not included in the training process. Figure 9 (Appendix F) further validates this generalization capability. The models perform reliably across similar family architectures, such as CodeLlama with more parameters than those in the training set, different versions of GPT, and new models. However, performance drops for CodeWhisperer, where only two-thirds of its code samples are correctly identified as LLM-generated. Even classical machine learning models achieve high scores in this task, suggesting that the statistical features extracted from generated code are extreme enough to deviate from human-written patterns. Human-written code is beyond the scope of this experiment, but it is considered in the following sections.

sources: MBPP, a benchmark of entry-level Python coding problems (Austin et al., 2021) designed to be solved in very few lines of code, and The Vault inline dataset (Nguyen et al., 2023), which contains arbitrary code blocks extracted from a large number of repositories on GitHub. For The Vault dataset, we ensure that the repositories used in this test do not overlap with those in the training set. So, as a result, we got two types of unseen domains: unseen source (MBPP), and unseen code structure (both MBPP and The-Vault).

In total, we extracted 250 samples per language from The Vault inline dataset, including inline comments, and used these comments and the first line of code to generate the rest with all of our models. From MBPP, we extracted 100 code samples per model and regenerated them using MBPP prompts (shown in the Appendix E.4). All human-written solutions from this dataset are included as well. This process yields 5,451 samples, of which 1,683 are human-written, and 3,768 are machine-generated.

Table 9 illustrates that all models experience a significant drop in performance when applied to unseen domains. This aligns with the findings of Wang et al. (2024a), which demonstrate that machine-generated content detectors are not robust to unknown domains. New domains present greater challenges for models because they deviate from the training data distribution, requiring models to generalize beyond their learned representations. This lack of overlap diminishes the models’ ability to capture and interpret domain-specific nuances effectively. Also, as illustrated in Table 11, when only the structure of the data is new to the model (The Vault), the performance is much higher than when both the structure and the source of the data are unseen (MBPP).

In this task, the OOD code snippets lack the structural complexity and contextual information typically found in functions and classes. UniXcoder depends on these structural elements to effectively capture relationships and semantics. In contrast, CodeT5 appears to rely on more general patterns, making it more adaptable to shorter and less-structured inputs. Consequently, CodeT5 achieves better performance in this scenario. Moreover, our analysis reveals that the baseline outperforms SVM and CodeBERT in F1-score and matches CatBoost (more details can be seen in the Appendix I).

4.5.3 Unseen Programming Languages

To evaluate the ability of our models to generalize to unseen languages, we create an OOD dataset using LeetCode solutions and CodeSearchNet samples in C#, JavaScript, Golang, Ruby, and PHP.

We collected 2,706 human-written LeetCode solutions from the website and sample 100 problems from the LeetCode test set, generating solutions in the four languages with each model. Furthermore, we sampled 100 code examples per language (except C#) from CodeSearchNet and regenerated them using the same approach described in the Appendix E. After removing irrelevant or invalid responses based on the criteria in § 3.3, the final dataset comprised 6,388 code samples, with nearly equal distribution: 3,376 human-written and 3,012

Table 13: UnixCoder compared to the baseline on hybrid generated codes.

LLM-generated code samples.

Table 12 shows that all models except the baseline suffer in performance for unseen languages, although UniXcoder demonstrates relatively strong results. Table 10 highlights JavaScript as the most challenging language for all models. The variability in JavaScript code style, driven by its flexible syntax and lack of strict conventions, adds noise for models trained in more structured languages. In contrast, Golang and PHP are less challenging due to their syntactical similarities with Python and C++ because the minimalistic syntax of Golang mirrors the patterns of C++, while PHP’s dynamic, procedural style aligns with Python, enabling for a better generalization of these languages.

4.5.4 Hybrid Authorship

In previous experiments, we focused solely on scenarios where LLM generates the whole code from a prompt. However, in real-world use, users typically collaborate with LLMs, asking them to complete and/or fix code. In this section, we examine hybrid generation scenario, in which users prompt LLM to (i) fill in gaps or (ii) rewrite the given code. For this test, we generated 1K samples for each task and evaluated UnixCoder, our top performer in other settings. Since UnixCoder was trained for binary classification, we treated the hybrid generation as LLM-generated code. As shown in Table 13, although UnixCoder still outperforms the baseline, our best model completely fails the task.

Figure 3: Performance degradation with varying proportion of human-written code preserved.

4.6 Performance Degradation Analysis

To understand why prediction becomes more challenging in the case of hybrid generation, we provide Figure 3 to show performance degradation. The line graph illustrates that as the proportion of human-written code in the samples increases, the model performance decreases. This outcome is expected, as our initial model was trained for binary classification, which is insufficient to handle hybrid cases. To address this limitation, we introduce a fine-tuning on hybrid class (ternary classification), described in the Appendix J.

5 Conclusion & Future Work

We introduced CoDet-M4, a corpus for machine-generated code detection that spans multiple programming languages, code generators, and domains. Using this dataset, we developed and evaluated models to detect LLM-generated code, focusing on their robustness to OOD data. Our findings show that these models generalize well across languages with syntactic similarities to those in the training set and handle variations in generator configurations (e.g., the same model with different parameter scales). However, their performance drops significantly in unseen domains and hybrid generation scenarios.

In future work, we aim to expand our dataset to include more programming languages and code generators, further improving the models generalization capabilities. Additionally, we plan to explore contrastive learning and domain adaptation to mitigate performance drops in unseen domains.
Limitations

Generalizability: Our research predominantly focuses on three programming languages - Java, C++, and Python thereby constraining the models capacity to generalize across a broader spectrum of languages. Additionally, the dataset primarily comprises function- and class-level code, which presents significant challenges for models when addressing inline or snippet-level scenarios.

Corpus Update: Identifying machine-generated code is exceptionally challenging, particularly when the specific generator and domain are unknown. As we have observed, distinguishing between human-written and LLM-generated code can be difficult in certain scenarios. Consequently, we consider CoDet-M4 to be a valuable repository of machine-generated text for researchers working on AI-generated content detection. Additionally, since LLMs are continually advancing, any dataset created to detect LLM-generated code can quickly become outdated. To address this, we plan to continuously expand CoDet-M4 to support more effective training and detector development.

Prompt Diversity: The quality of generation and stylistic attributes of LLMs are intrinsically shaped by their input prompts. However, our study utilizes a narrow range of prompts, which may significantly impede the models ability to accurately detect code generated under a diverse array of prompting scenarios.

Applied Models: We primarily relied on pre-existing models, which may exhibit limitations in performance. Future research should explore the integration of multi-modal representations, such as code and abstract syntax trees (AST), to enhance detection capabilities and improve overall accuracy.

Ethical Statement & Bias

Data Collection, Licensing, and Privacy  The CoDet-M4 dataset was constructed entirely from publicly available corpora explicitly approved for research purposes. No raw data was scraped from websites, ensuring strict adherence to ethical guidelines and safeguarding privacy. Since the human-written data included in CoDet-M4 was previously released for research, its incorporation into this dataset does not pose additional privacy concerns.

The human-written portion of CoDet-M4 is freely accessible for research purposes, provided researchers credit the original sources and comply with their licensing terms. Furthermore, all code samples used in this study were sourced from publicly available platforms such as LeetCode, Codeforces, and GitHub, as well as from the datasets referenced in the manuscript. This collection process adhered to the platforms’ terms of service and respected the privacy and intellectual property rights of contributors. No sensitive personal identifiers or information were included.

For machine-generated code, users must comply with the licensing terms of the respective LLMs that produced it:

GPT-4o (Achiam et al., 2023) does not have a specific license, but encourages research publications utilizing the OpenAI API11.

CodeLlama (7B) (Codellama, 2023) is provided under the LLAMA 2 License12.

Llama3.1 (8B) (Llama, 2024) is provided under the Llama 3.1 License13.

CodeQwen 1.5 (7B) (Qwen, 2023) is provided under the Tongyi Qianwen License14.

Nocode-orpo (7B) (Hong et al., 2024) is also provided under the Tongyi Qianwen License15.

Our research advances LLM-generated code detection for applications in plagiarism prevention, intellectual property enforcement, and AI transparency. To prevent misuse, such as evading detection or misattributing authorship, we withheld detailed strategies and highlighted the limitations of the solution.

Bias: Both human-authored and LLM-generated code can exhibit inherent biases, which may be reflected in our CoDet-M4 dataset due to biases introduced during the human data collection process. This could impact the accuracy and reliability of the detection results. While we curated the dataset with a diverse range of examples to mitigate bias, we acknowledge potential limitations in representativeness arising from platform-specific distributions, and our reliance on the public data source. We plan to address these issues through a comprehensive analysis of biases in future work.

B Data Distribution

Figure 4 highlights that there are fewer code samples in C++ compared to other programming languages. This can be attributed to the limited number of CodeForces samples, as shown in Figure 5. Since C++ is the dominant programming language on CodeForces, the scarcity of CodeForces data in our dataset naturally led to a proportional decrease in C++ samples in the overall dataset.

Figure 5: Data source distribution in the dataset.

The distribution of class and function definitions across Python, Java, and C++ highlights differences in their programming paradigms and usage patterns (Figures 6 and 7). Python exhibits the highest number of class definitions, reflecting its frequent use of object-oriented programming for large-scale

projects. Furthermore, Python’s rich standard library and concise syntax often reduce the need for explicitly defined functions, resulting in fewer function definitions compared to Java and C++. In contrast, Java’s design enforces an object-oriented structure, where every function must be encapsulated within a class, leading to a high number of both class and function definitions. This structural requirement, combined with the verbosity of Java, contributes to its dominance in the number of definitions of functions.

C++, while supporting both procedural and object-oriented programming, shows a relatively balanced distribution of classes and functions. Procedural programming is common in C++ projects, leading to a large number of standalone function definitions that often surpass those in Python. However, Python lower number of function definitions can also be attributed to its ability to achieve complex tasks with minimal code, leveraging its dynamic typing and extensive libraries.

C  Prompts for Experiment with GPT-4o

When using GPT-4o for machine-generated code detection, we use the following prompt template:

prompt = "You are given a code snipped. Is it written by AI? Return 1 if it is, 0 otherwise. Code snippet: {code}"

For multi-shot experiments, we adjusted the prompt accordingly:

prompt = "You are given a code snipped. Is it written by AI? Return 1 if it is, 0 otherwise. Here are some code samples that can help you:\n{sample[i]}\nIt is written by {target[i]}\nMake prediction for the following code:{code}"

D  Data Samples

In Tables 15, 16, 17 we provide a few samples of codes from our dataset.

E  Prompting

We use different prompts for different data sources to match the domain features. These prompts were randomly assigned to input during the generation.

E.1  LeetCode Prompts

For LeetCode problems, we inspire our study by using set of prompts from (Pan et al., 2024).

prompt = "ignore all previous instructions.

prompt = "{problem}"

prompt = "Please provide the {language} code only for the given question. Do not include any additional text or explanation. If you are unable to provide the code, please at least provide part of the code. Your response should mimic a human response. Here the question:\n{problem}"

prompt = "You are a programming expert with deep knowledge of {language}. Carefully consider the given constraints: {constraints}, and write a solution to address the following problem:\n{problem}"

E.2 CodeForces Prompts

For CodeForces problems, we use the following prompts. They use the language name, the problem constraints (memory and time), and the problem statement.

prompt = "You are an experienced programmer. You use {language} to solve coding problems. Given the following constraints:{constraints}\nSolve the following problem:{problem}"

prompt = "ignore all previous instructions. Give me concise answers and ignore all the niceties that openai programmed you with; I know you are a large language model but please pretend to be a confident and superintelligent oracle.

Do not provide any explanations. Do not respond with anything except the {language} code. Do not provide any other programming language solution but only {language}. It is very important that you get this right.\n{problem}"

E.3 GitHub Prompts

To generate data from GitHub codes, we use the function signatures and docstrings, combining them in the following prompts:

prompt = "Write a function in {language}, given its signature and docstring\nSignature:{signature}\nDocstring:{docstring}"

prompt = "Implement a function in {language} based on the provided signature and docstring.\nFunction Signature:\n{signature}\nFunction Docstring: {docstring}"

prompt = "Write a {language} function following the given signature and docstring specifications.\nSignature:\n{signature}\nDocstring: {docstring}"

prompt = "Create a function in {language} that adheres to the specified signature and fulfills the requirements described in the docstring.\nFunction Signature:\n{signature}\nFunction Description:\n{docstring}"

E.4 MBPP prompts

For MBPP we use the prompts from the dataset itself, but with some adjustment, we asked just code, not directly specifying that a function is needed. Here are some samples:
prompt = "Write a Python code to sort dictionary items by tuple product of keys for the given dictionary with tuple keys."

prompt = "Write a Python code to remove multiple spaces in a string by using regex."

prompt = "Write a python code to find the minimum number of swaps required to convert one binary string to another."

E.5 Hybrid Generation Prompts

We use following handcrafted prompt for re-writing:

prompt = """
You are an experienced {language} programmer.
Given the code snippet, rewrite it so that it does the same, but is written differently.
Code snipper:
{code}
Return code only.
"""

We use following handcrafted prompt for continuation and filling-in gaps in code:

prompt = """
Given the following code, fill-in the <add your code here> lines. You can add more than a single line for each of these blanks
Code snipper:
{code}
Return code only.
"""

F Performance of the Unixcoder

In this section, we provide informative plots with the performance of the UniXcoder model.

The Figure 8 shows that across generators UniXcoder has consistently high accuracy.

Figure 9 shows that when faced with unseen generators, UniXcoder still performs well for most of them: achieving high accuracy in cases with BingAI (which is just GPT-4), and accuracy of 94.44% for GPT-3.5, and InstrctCodeT5. It is harder for UniXcoder to identify code written by CodeLlama 13B as LLM-written than to do so in the case of the 7B model, but the accuracy is still high. The only generator for which UniXcoder struggles to identify that its code was LLM-generated is Code-Whisperer.

Table 11 shows that UniXcoder performs better on data from The Vault, which consists of arbitrary code snippets from GitHub, despite differences in structure compared to training data (primarily classes and functions extracted from GitHub). In contrast, its performance significantly decreases on MBPP, a dataset with an unseen format (short code snippets) and a different source, highlighting the model’s sensitivity to both format and domain shifts.

We believe primary driver behind UnixCoder’s consistently superior performance over the other models lies in its pre-training approach, which harnesses AST information, aiding generalization across multiple OOD scenarios.

G Features Analysis

To analyze the handcrafted features, we used SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) (Lundberg and Lee, 2017). This method helps to understand which features and which their values affected a particular class prediction. The Figure 10 shows top-10 handcrafted features. The X-axis corresponds to the target: positives are for machine-generated code, and negatives are for human-written code. It suggests that LLMs try to make the code more structured, separating its parts with empty lines, while people often do not do so. Also it shows that the code written by machine differs from the human-written code in terms of AST depth, and uses more assignment operations.

H Confusion Matrices for UniXcoder

In Figures 12 and 13, we present the confusion matrices for the Unixcoder model, which performs best in our settings, evaluated per language and

source, respectively.

I Error Analysis of the Baseline

We observe that the zero-shot baseline underperforms most of the models, but exhibits stable performance. Further, we identify the source of this discrepancy.

Figures 14 and 15 show that the zero-shot baseline often misclassifies the LLM-generated code as human-written, with higher errors in unseen languages than in unseen domains. This likely stems from the LLMs used for baseline model’s prediction being primarily trained for text generation rather than code, especially in less common programming languages, leading to probability distributions that differ from those of the code-focused models used in this study. However, the baseline’s performance experiences only minimal degradation in unseen domains and languages compared to the other models. This suggests that despite shift in code representation and features (which affect all models except the baseline) in unseen domains, the probabilistic pattern of LLMs (examined by the baseline) remains largely preserved.

J Ternary Classification

Recognizing the real-world relevance of hybrid classification, we fine-tuned models for better performance and introduced a hybrid generation scenario, reframing AI-generated code detection as a ternary classification problem: code is either (<i>i</i>) human-written, (<i>ii</i>) LLM-written, or (<i>iii</i>) hybrid-written by human and then refined by an LLM. To identify hybrid generations, we constructed an additional dataset. Following the instructions detailed in the Appendix E.5 we constructed a dataset. It contains 10K samples, each for three tasks filling in code gaps, completing code given its beginning, and rewriting code. We also added 40K samples of purely LLM-generated code and 30K of human-written code samples, uniformly sampled from the original dataset. Quality assurance was performed using the same pipeline as described in § 3.3.

We fine-tuned the UnixCoder model on this dataset for five epochs using a learning rate of 3e-4. The data was split into training, validation, and test sets in an 8:1:1 ratio. To maintain the original distribution, samples drawn from the original dataset were assigned to the corresponding splits (<i>e.g.</i>, data sampled from the original training set was placed in the new training set).

Table 14 shows that our approach enables model accurately classify each of the three classes. Figure 11 indicates that most misclassifications for UnixCoder occur between purely LLM-generated and hybrid cases, as expected.

Table 17: Comparison of LLM-generated and human-written code snippets for C++.

Reviewer paper summaries: This paper discusses the detection of LLM-generated code. The authors propose CoDet-M4, a high-quality dataset for training and validating models to detect LLM-generated code.CoDet-M4 is used to train multiple models, among which UniXCoder and CodeT5 perform relatively well in various tests for assessing the ability to detect machine-generated code and authorship. The authors further evaluate the generalizability of unseen models, unseen domains and unseen programming languages and further test the models on hybrid authorship. Besides, the authors claim GPT-4o performs badly on machine-generated code and authorship.

The authors develop a large corpus for detecting AI-generated code samples. Their dataset contains multiple languages, human-code resources, models. They evaluate the classification performance of multiple models in various scenarios such as cross-domain, cross-language, and others.

This paper introduces CoDet-M4, a new benchmark and framework designed to detect machine-generated code in diverse (multi-language, multi-source, multi-domain, multi-generator) settings. The authors curate a large-scale dataset that includes both human-written and LLM-generated code in three widely-used programming languages: Python, Java, and C++. The paper evaluates a range of traditional ML models and pre-trained language models (PLMs) on multiple detection tasks: distinguishing between human- and LLM-generated code, identifying code authorship, and assessing robustness in out-of-domain (OOD) settings (e.g., unseen models, domains, and languages). The authors open source their data and code.

The paper introduces a dataset, CoDet-M4, to evaluate models on identifying machine-generated code across multiple programming languages and domains. CoDet-M4 includes about 500K samples of human and LLM-generated code, and it evaluates various models, including traditional machine learning, pre-trained language models, and LLMs for code detection. The authors fine-tune and evaluate models on machine-generated code detection, generator detection and generalization to unseen code domains and source models. They also briefly touch upon detection in hybrid authorship setups. All data and code used are claimed to be made openly available.
Summary of strengths: - The paper discusses the detection of machine-generated code, which is a topic that needs to be addressed because it challenges programming skills, ethics and assessment integrity.
- The paper proposes a valuable dataset for training and evaluating models for machine-generated code detection, which not only crosses multiple programming languages and domains but also checks for quality.

-	The developed dataset is large and comprehensive. It covers multiple languages, LLMs, and human-authored code resources.
-	They report benchmark results for several models for various scenarios.
- They work on a very important problem.

- The paper introduces a new benchmark composed of both human- and machine-generated code across three programming languages and a variety of domains and sources. It also describes multiple evaluation methodologies, including generated-content detection, authorship identification, and evaluations on unseen models, domains, and programming languages.
- There is limited prior work in this area, and existing efforts suffer from narrow scope. The dataset and benchmark proposed here can be a good resource for future research on AI-generated content detection.
- The authors clearly define well-motivated research questions and perform extensive experiments to evaluate them from multiple perspectives. Their analysis is thorough, including fine-grained breakdowns and intuitive explanations for the observed results. They also provide rationale behind key experimental choices (e.g., selection of LLMs, detection models, and data subsets for particular experiments).

1. Emphasizes the need to develop models for machine generation detection with the rapid adoption of LLMs in workflows across user groups.
2. Dataset is diverse, consisting of code collected in different programming languages, from different sources and LLMs. 
3. Different kinds of models have been evaluated including a rule-based baseline, SVM and pretrained LLMs.
Summary of weaknesses: - The paper is weak in technique as a research paper since the effective part is just to fine-tune the legacy language. The problem of hardness to generalize to unseen domains is yet not solved. We prefer more insights into the failure and possible solutions, better with more explorations and experiments.

- The paper lacks insight into analyzing the differences between human-written and machine-generated code in CoDet-M4, which is less useful for people to develop further improvements based on the dataset. We’d like to see the analysis for people to understand the difference and the proof that the differences can be extended to the OOD data (unseen languages, domains and models)

- The paper claims that GPT-4o performs badly in detecting machine-generated code and authorship, which is quite counterintuitive. The details of applying GPT-4o to the detection are unclear, e.g., the contents of the few-shot examples and the hyperparameters for generation. The details need to be reviewed.

- The major contribution is the dataset, which has not yet been published. The link to the dataset is a dummy one. Find a way to share code and data anonymously.

-	The authors rightfully says that “in real-world use, users typically collaborate with LLMs, asking them to complete and/or fix code.” For this need, they also provide a dataset but it is highly small compared to their actual dataset.

-	The authors use the appendix to put the core contents of the paper such as experimental setup. While technically their paper does not exceed limit, this is achieved by putting several important parts in the appendix.

- Limited technical contribution: The paper is posed as a framework with datasets, methods and analyses. However, the methods do not present any novel contributions, and given the limited scope of the dataset, the validity/usefulness of the presented analyses is also constrained. Furthermore, it is unknown if these findings will reliably translate to different kind of detectors, such as those operating on other languages. (See suggestion 1 below).
- Potential data contamination: Since much of the data was collected from public datasets and sources, it’s unclear whether any steps were taken to ensure there is no overlap between the evaluation splits and the training data of the pre-trained DNN detectors used.
    - UniXcoder shows notably high performance across multiple evaluations, suggesting the need to check for potential data leakage. It would be helpful to confirm whether these results reflect actual model robustness or dataset limitations.
- The dataset is restricted to object-oriented programming languages (Python, C++, Java). Including languages from other paradigms (e.g., functional, scripting) would enhance dataset diversity and improve robustness of the results.
- Some human written solutions from public sources could be AI-generated. For one of the datasets, the authors select code samples from ~2019, when AI for code generation was not as prevalent—consider applying a similar filter to other human-code sources.
- As it stands, the paper is difficult to follow without referring to the appendix. Consider moving critical details, such as baseline definitions and experimental setup, into the main text.
- While a key motivation of the paper is to help enhance accountability (e.g., in education or hiring), a simple human/hybrid/AI classification may be inadequate for real-world usage of such detection systems. For instance, if only 5% of a code snippet is AI-generated, would that be classified as hybrid (in ternary classification) or AI-generated (in the binary case)? The hybrid category is not very helpful without information on the proportion of LLM-generated content.
    - Maybe an analysis on the AI-content threshold at which the model flags it as hybrid or AI-generated would be useful. You can do this by tracking approximate generation statistics during dataset construction (atleast for the case where the LLM is asked to fill in the missing code) and then analyzing the detection performance on these distinct ranges.

1. Limited results and suggestions on hybrid authorship setup, a more realistic setup today with the adoption of LLM-powered code editors and completions. RQ3 not fully answered in the main paper. Some experiments can be found in the appendix.
2. Lack of evaluation on more closed models and reasoning models given their superior performance in other tasks compared to open source models. (Related to RQ1)
3. Dataset, though diverse, is not entirely novel since some part of it has been borrowed from prior work (human-written code of CoDeT-M4, datasets used in subsections 4.4.x)
Comments, suggestions and typos: No other suggestions.

I believe this is a well-structured paper with a clear and valuable contribution. The authors provide a highly useful resource and present benchmark results across various cases. However, there is some ambiguity regarding adherence to the page limit. While the paper technically complies with the limit, many crucial sections have been placed in the Appendix. In particular, the entire experimental setup section is included in the Appendix, and while Table 13 is discussed in the main text, it is also placed in Appendix. In my view, relocating key sections to the Appendix should not compromise the paper's overall coherence. However, in this case, it becomes challenging to fully evaluate the work without reviewing the Appendix.
A clearer guideline on what content should be placed in the Appendix would be beneficial. Otherwise, the purpose of enforcing page limits may be undermined. In addition, it raises concerns about fairness when comparing papers that extensively utilize the Appendix with those that strictly adhere to the conference's page limits. This issue significantly affects my rating for the paper. 

There are minor writing issues.
“Spanning a wide array of models, domains, and programming languages, providing a diverse and large-scale  foundational resource for research in this area.” -> this is an incomplete sentence.

“Python, C++ and Java.” -> “Python, C++, and Java”

“served using vLLM9” -> the footnote just says “github.com”, does not provide the actual link.

- Minor: Reframing the contribution as a benchmark with a dataset and different evaluation dimensions/recipes (detection, authorship identification + the OOD evals) would strengthen the paper’s positioning.
- Nit: line 77: “*these approaches often overlook the growing prevalence of open-source and locally deployable LLM-based code assistants.” -* It’s unclear whether this means existing approaches are tailored only to specific assistants. Consider rephrasing for clarity.

1. Tables need more descriptive captions to be self-contained. Some tables do not specify what the task is in the caption and one would have to read relevant sections in the paper to make this correspondence.
2. Text in Figure 1 can be enlarged
