In the era of large language models like Chatgpt, maintaining academic integrity in programming education has become challenging due to potential misuse. There's a pressing need for reliable detectors to identify Chatgpt-generated code. While previous studies have tackled model-generated text detection, identifying such code remains uncharted territory. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to discern Chatgpt-generated code. We employ targeted masking perturbation, emphasizing code sections with high perplexity. Fine-tuned CodeBERT is utilized to replace these masked sections, generating subtly perturbed samples. Our scoring system amalgamates overall perplexity, variations in code line perplexity, and burstiness. In this scoring scheme, a higher rank for the original code suggests it's more likely to be chatgpt-generated. The underlying principle is that code generated by models typically exhibits consistent, low perplexity and reduced burstiness, with its ranking remaining relatively stable even after subtle modifications. In contrast, human-written code, when perturbed, is more likely to produce samples that the model prefers. Our approach significantly outperforms current detectors, especially against OpenAI's text-davinci-003 model, with the average AUC rising from 0.56 (GPTZero baseline) to 0.87.

Reverse engineering involves analyzing the design, architecture, and functionality of systems, and is crucial for legacy systems. Legacy systems are outdated software systems that are still in use and often lack proper documentation, which makes their maintenance and evolution challenging. To address this, we introduce SC2Req, utilizing the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) for automated code analysis and requirement generation. This approach aims to convert source code into understandable requirements and bridge the gap between those two. Through experiments on diverse software projects, SC2Req shows the potential to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the translation process. This approach not only facilitates faster software development and easier maintenance of legacy systems but also lays a strong foundation for future research, promoting better understanding and communication in software development.

Crowdsourcing is a popular method for crowd workers to collaborate on tasks. However, workers coordinate and share answers during the crowdsourcing process. The term for this is "collusion". Copies from others and repeated submissions are detrimental to the quality of the assignments. The majority of the existing research on collusion detection is limited to ground truth problems (e.g., labeling tasks) and requires a predetermined threshold to be established in advance. In this paper, we aim to detect collusion behavior of workers in an adaptive way, and propose an Adaptive Clustering Based Collusion Detection approach (ACCD) for a broad range of task types and data types solved via crowdsourcing (e.g., continuous rating with or without distributions). Extensive experiments on both real-world and synthetic datasets show the superiority of ACCD over state-of-the-art approaches.

Fake news detection remains a critical challenge in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, where misinformation can spread faster than ever before. Traditional fake news detection models often rely on static datasets and auxiliary information, such as metadata or social media interactions, which limits their adaptability to real-time scenarios. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant potential in addressing these challenges due to their extensive pre-trained knowledge and ability to analyze textual content without relying on auxiliary data. However, many of these LLM-based approaches are still rooted in static datasets, with limited exploration into their real-time processing capabilities. This paper presents a systematic evaluation of both traditional offline models and state-of-the-art LLMs for real-time fake news detection. We demonstrate the limitations of existing offline models, including their inability to adapt to dynamic misinformation patterns. Furthermore, we show that newer LLM models with online capabilities, such as GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini, are better suited for detecting emerging fake news in real-time contexts. Our findings emphasize the importance of transitioning from offline to online LLM models for real-time fake news detection. Additionally, the public accessibility of LLMs enhances their scalability and democratizes the tools needed to combat misinformation. By leveraging real-time data, our work marks a significant step toward more adaptive, effective, and scalable fake news detection systems.
