arXiv:2606.07103v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Style classifiers can use content cues that correlate with style labels in naturally collected data, yet we lack a systematic way to measure this reliance. We study this problem with a controlled content overlap setup built on parallel Bible translations. Specifically, we define the overlap parameter $\alpha$ as the normalized residual of mutual information between content identity and style label, so that it measures how much content is shared across style classes: from no shared content ($\alpha=0$) to fully shared content ($\alpha=1$). Cross-o
The proliferation of AI models makes it critical to understand their underlying mechanisms and potential biases, particularly as they integrate more deeply into complex systems.
This research provides a systematic method to evaluate style classifiers, offering insights into how AI models differentiate between stylistic and content features, which is crucial for ethical and effective AI development.
We now have a quantifiable method, the overlap parameter $\alpha$, to assess the degree to which content cues influence style classifications in AI models, moving beyond qualitative assessment.
