Predicting Machine vs. Human Generated Text

Norwich University Applied Research Institute, Northfield, VT, 2023

As part of a company-wide digital transformation, I worked with NUARI leaders Dr. Ali Al Bataineh and Rachel Sickler to implement research on identifying machine versus human generated text using AI. This is a must to combat security threats, plagiarism, and other dangers. We present an innovative dataset to get the job done.
