NOTAI.AI: Explainable Detection of Machine-Generated Text via Curvature and Feature Attribution

Abstract

We present NOTAI.AI, an explainable framework for machine-generated text detection that extends Fast-DetectGPT by integrating curvature-based signals with neural and stylometric features in a supervised setting. The system combines 17 interpretable features, including Conditional Probability Curvature, ModernBERT detector score, readability metrics, and stylometric cues, within a gradient-boosted tree (XGBoost) meta-classifier to determine whether a text is human- or AI-generated. Furthermore, NOTAI.AI applies Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) to provide both local and global feature-level attribution. These attributions are further translated into structured natural-language rationales through an LLM-based explanation layer, which enables user-facing interpretability. The system is deployed as an interactive web application that supports real-time analysis, visual feature inspection, and structured evidence presentation. A web interface allows users to input text and inspect how neural and statistical signals influence the final decision. The source code and demo video are publicly available to support reproducibility.
