Fact-checking is one approach that involves studying veracity of the news using external evidence (Popat et al., 2018; Nie et al., 2018) . However, it remains a challenging task since the performance of the current automatic factchecking models are not satisfactory (Thorne et al., 2018) . Rashkin et al. (2017) studied automated fact-checking by examining the role of stylistic bias to help verify the truthfulness of an article. Another approach which has recently gained traction to combat mass-scale production of fake news is detecting stylistic differences in human-written and machine-generated news 1 . Later, Grover (Zellers et al., 2019) , a transformer based model (Vaswani et al., 2017 ) trained on news corpora was proposed to determine machinegenerated fake news.",

However, to the best of our knowledge, there has not been a systematic empirical evaluation to validate these claims. We devise six different perturbations to study the behavior of models 2 . In this study we do not cover (3) since generative models for applications like summarization (See et al., 2017; Nallapati et al., 2016 ), text completion (Vaswani et al., 2017; can be directly tested for veracity on detector models. From our experiments, we see that models are insensitive to semantic types of perturbations considered in this work, and moreover are extremely sensitive to grammatical perturbations, that do not change the semantics.",

Behjati et al. (2019) crafted data-independent adversarial sequences that can fool text classifier when added to any input sample. Alternatively, Wallace et al. (2019) study triggers in the form of a word or a few words to analyze models and biases in datasets for LM, text classification. Machine-generated text detection: Bakhtin et al. (2019) study the generalization ability of models trained to detect real text from the machinegenerated text, Gehrmann et al. (2019) show statistical distributional differences between humanwritten and machine-generated text and provide a tool to the readers to detect machine generated text. Zellers et al. (2019) proposed defense against machine-generated fake news, Grover, by building a linear classifier on top of the last hidden state of its controlled generator model trained on a large news corpora. Fake news detection: Shu et al. (2017) study fake news detectors in social media from a data mining perspective. Similarly, Zhou et al. (2019) study vulnerabilities of the Fakebox tool, an open-source fake news detector and emphasized the necessity of crowd-source based knowledge graphs and fact checking based solutions to combat fake news. Automatic fact checking is another approach that is being studied actively with synthetic (Thorne et al., 2018) and real datasets Augenstein et al., 2019) . In parallel work, Schuster et al. (2019) discusses the limitations of stylistic based approaches for machine-generated fake news detection. They devised two benchmarks: (1) text completion using LM and, (2) negating the meaning of human-written articles by maintaining the distribution of human-written text as learned by the model. Our work is orthogonal to these efforts in the following ways: (1) we study (in)sensitivity of multiple models for semantic perturbations by keeping the distribution of human-written text intact, (2) we also study the sensitivity of models to semanticpreserving syntactic perturbations with the goal of overlaying distribution of human-written text over machine-generated text, (3) our experiments can be used as a diagnostic evaluation tool for future machine-generated fake news detectors and, (4) our semantic perturbations can be used to evaluate and study fact-checking based solutions as well.",

An ideal model will flip its decision to all the semantic perturbations introduced in this work. Below is a brief description of types of semantic perturbations we consider. varying sentiment: We change the polarity of sentences within an article, by replacing positive, or comforting words to negative words and vice-versa; thereby changing the overall sentiment of the article.

In the training dataset of Grover, we observe that machinegenerated articles have shorter length but longer sentences than human-written articles. We perturb these features by: (i) breaking longer sentences, (ii) removing definite articles if they appear among 8 https://spacy.io/ the most repeated words in an article, (iii) using semantic-preserving rules (for example converting that's \u2192that is) (Ribeiro et al., 2018), (iv) reformatting paragraphs of machine-generated text. These perturbations preserve semantics of articles, hence an ideal model should not flip its decision. Table 2 summarizes the performance of models when subjected to different types of perturbations at test time. For our experiments, we pick 2K samples for every perturbation type (real for semantic and fake for syntactic perturbations) from the Re-alNews dataset that are classified correctly (100% accuracy) by all the models without any perturbations introduced in this work. We start with 25% perturbation level because very small perturbation levels may not be enough to change the overall semantics of the article. However, Grover identifies its own generated text even at 1% perturbation level (18% accuracy on article shuffling perturbation). On manual examination, we found that on an average 5% of the real articles did not change semantics on perturbing for varying sentiment and source-target exchange. Fakebox performance is not reported due to very low accuracy for all the perturbations introduced in this work. Since the details of Fakebox tool is not publicly available, The cell values contain the mean and standard deviation across 5 runs of experiments. We choose real articles for devising semantic perturbations and fake articles for devising syntactic perturbations. For semantic perturbations, we see that model performance increases with level of perturbations while for syntactic perturbation, models tend to perform bad with increase in attributes of human-written text. We mark 'NA' in article shuffling for 100% perturbation level since 100% shuffling will be a full machine-generated text which was already classified correctly by the detectors.",
