Statistical Watermarking Method for LLM Text Detection
August 11, 2026
LLM watermarking functions by splitting a model's vocabulary into green and red lists during token selection. The algorithm nudges token probabilities toward the green list, creating a machine-detectable statistical pattern that remains imperceptible to human readers.
