Who Wrote this Code? Watermarking for Code Generation

arXiv:2305.15060v3 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: With the remarkable generation performance of large language models, ethical and legal concerns about using them have been raised, such as plagiarism and copyright issues. For such concerns, several approaches to watermark and detect LLM-generated text have been proposed very recently. However, we discover that the previous methods fail to function appropriately with code generation tasks because of the syntactic and semantic characteristics of code. Based on \citet{Kirchenbauer2023watermark}, we propose a new watermarking method, Selective …
