A Statistical Turing Test for Generative Models
share
The emergence of human-like abilities of AI systems for content generation in domains such as text, audio, and vision has prompted the development of classifiers to determine whether content originated from a human or a machine. Implicit in these efforts is an assumption that the generation properties of a human are different from that of the machine. In this work, we provide a framework in the language of statistical pattern recognition that quantifies the difference between the distributions of human and machine-generated content conditioned on an evaluation context. We describe current methods in the context of the framework and demonstrate how to use the framework to evaluate the progression of generative models towards human-like capabilities, among many axes of analysis.
