Qwen3-14B-Base-HIP-adapter

This repository contains a LoRA adapter trained for Humanization by Iterative Paraphrasing (HIP), from the paper Base Models Look Human To AI Detectors.

The adapter is intended to be loaded on top of:

Qwen/Qwen3-14B-Base

Model Details

• Adapter type: LoRA / PEFT adapter
• Base model: Qwen/Qwen3-14B-Base
• Training objective: AI-to-human paraphrase reconstruction
• Training data: paired AI-style and human-written passages from the HIP training data
• Intended pipeline: iterative paraphrasing, where the adapter rewrites the previous round's output for a fixed number of rounds

Intended Use

This adapter is released to support research reproducibility for the HIP paper. It is intended for studying detector behavior, paraphrase-based rewriting, and robustness of AI-text detectors.

The adapter should not be used to evade deployed academic-integrity, authorship, or provenance systems in real-world settings.

Usage

from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

base_model = "Qwen/Qwen3-14B-Base"
adapter = "YixuanEvenXu/Qwen3-14B-Base-HIP-adapter"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(adapter)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(base_model, device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, adapter)

For the full minimal HIP pipeline, see the code release linked from the paper.

Training Summary

The adapter was trained with supervised fine-tuning on paired examples (a_i, h_i), where a_i is an AI-style paraphrase of a human passage and h_i is the corresponding human-written target. Training uses a plain source-target format rather than a chat template.
