Everyday Style Imitation (Reddit) - Authorship Verification: leaderboard

Tests whether a language model can imitate an ordinary person's writing style from a few of that person's real texts. Wang et al. (EMNLP 2025 Findings) give each model five random writing samples by one author plus a GPT-4.1 summary of a held-out text, and ask it to write that text in the author's voice at temperature 0. Reddit: posts by 100 users from the Webis TL;DR-17 corpus, 8,451 test texts. Two authorship-verification models (Longformer-base-4096 and ModernBERT-base) fine-tuned on the corpus judge whether each generation and the author's real held-out text share an author; the score is the share judged same-author, averaged over both verifiers. On human test pairs the verifiers are 87.7% accurate. Verification accuracy (%), five-shot; higher is better.

Metric: AV Accuracy (%). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 6 models tracked.
