Semantic Differentiation for Tackling Challenges in Watermarking Low-Entropy Constrained Generation Outputs

Excerpt

arXiv:2601.11629v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We demonstrate that while the current approaches for language model watermarking are effective for open-ended generation, they are inadequate at watermarking LM outputs for constrained generation tasks with low-entropy output spaces. Therefore, we devise SeqMark, a sequence-level watermarking algorithm with semantic differentiation that balances output quality, watermark detectability, and imperceptibility. It improves on the shortcomings
