Abstract

With the hug of the information on WWW and digital libraries, Plagiarism became one of the most important issues for universities, schools and researcher's fields. While there are many systems for detecting plagiarism in Arabic language documents, the complexity of writing Arabic documents make such scheme a big challenge. On the other hand, although search engines such as Google can be utilized, there would be boring efforts to copy some sentences and paste them into the search engine to find similar resources. For that reason, developing Arabic plagiarism detection tool accelerate the process since plagiarism can be detected and highlighted automatically, and one only needs to submit the document to the system. This paper presents an effective web-enabled system for Arabic plagiarism detection called APDS, which can be integrated with e-learning systems to judge students' assignments, papers and dissertations. The experimental results are provided to evaluate APDS regarding the precision and recall ratios. The result shows that the average percentage of the precision is 82% and the average percentage of the recall is 92.5%.

A Survey of Plagiarism Detection Systems: Case of Use with English, French and Arabic Languages
MEHDI ABDELHAMID

2022

In academia, plagiarism is certainly not an emerging concern, but it became of a greater magnitude with the popularisation of the Internet and the ease of access to a worldwide source of content, rendering human-only intervention insufficient. Despite that, plagiarism is far from being an unaddressed problem, as computer-assisted plagiarism detection is currently an active area of research that falls within the field of Information Retrieval (IR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Many software solutions emerged to help fulfil this task, and this paper presents an overview of plagiarism detection systems for use in Arabic, French, and English academic and educational settings. The comparison was held between eight systems and was performed with respect to their features, usability, technical aspects, as well as their performance in detecting three levels of obfuscation from different sources: verbatim, paraphrase, and cross-language plagiarism. An indepth examination of technica...

DEVELOPING AN ARABIC PLAGIARISM DETECTION CORPUS
Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) Computer Science Conference Proceedings (CSCP)

A corpus is a collection of documents. It is a valuable resource in linguistics research to perform statistical analysis and testing hypothesis for different linguistic rules. An annotated corpus consists of documents or entities annotated with some task related labels such as part of speech tags, sentiment etc One such task is plagiarism detection that seeks to identify if a given document is plagiarized or not. This paper describes our efforts to build a plagiarism detection corpus for Arabic. The corpus consists of about 350 plagiarized – source document pairs and more than 250 documents where no plagiarism was found. The plagiarized documents consists of students submitted assignments. For each of the plagiarized documents, the source document was located from the Web and downloaded for further investigation. We report corpus statistics including number of documents, number of sentences and number of tokens for each of the plagiarized and source categories.

Yahya Ali, Ahmed Khalid

Plagiarism detection techniques and tools have developed mainly for English scripts. It has been found that different methods use different document descriptors ranging from characters to document structure. Arabic is a rich morpho-logical language that poses special challenges to computa-tional natural language processing systems. This paper pre-sents a survey study on plagiarism detection methods, tools and algorithms for Arabic documents. At the end of this pa-per authors propose a system for Arabic document plagia-rism detection in electronic resources.

An academic Arabic corpus for plagiarism detection: design, construction and experimentation
Sane Yagi

International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education

Advancement in information technology has resulted in massive textual material that is open to appropriation. Due to researchers’ misconduct, a plethora of plagiarism detection (PD) systems have been developed. However, most PD systems on the market do not support the Arabic language. In this paper, we discuss the design and construction of an Arabic PD reference corpus that is dedicated to academic language. It consists of (2312) dissertations that were defended by postgraduate students at the University of Jordan (JU) between the years 2001–2016. This Academic Jordan University Plagiarism Detection corpus; henceforth, JUPlag, follows the Dewey decimal classification (DDC) in the way it is structured. The goal of the corpus is twofold: Firstly, it is a database for the detection of plagiarism in student assignments, reports, and dissertations. Secondly, the n-gram structure of the corpus provides a knowledgebase for linguistic analysis, language teaching, and the learning of plagia...

2L-APD: A Two-Level Plagiarism Detection System for Arabic Documents
Ahmed Khorsi

Cybernetics and Information Technologies

Measuring the amount of shared information between two documents is a key to address a number of Natural Language Processing (NLP) challenges such as Information Retrieval (IR), Semantic Textual Similarity (STS), Sentiment Analysis (SA) and Plagiarism Detection (PD). In this paper, we report a plagiarism detection system based on two layers of assessment: 1) Fingerprinting which simply compares the documents fingerprints to detect the verbatim reproduction; 2) Word embedding which uses the semantic and syntactic properties of words to detect much more complicated reproductions. Moreover, Word Alignment (WA), Inverse Document Frequency (IDF) and Part-of-Speech (POS) weighting are applied on the examined documents to support the identification of words that are most descriptive in each textual unit. In the present work, we focused on Arabic documents and we evaluated the performance of the system on a data-set of holding three types of plagiarism: 1) Simple reproduction (copy and past...

Prototype of Web-based Application for Detecting Plagiarism
Meredita Susanty

2010

There exist applications and services which can detect document similarity, such as Turnitin [4] and MyDropBox. Both compare a document in English to documents of their collections. TESSY (Test of Text Similarity) has also been developed in Gadjah Mada University [4]. This software checks documents similarities, but does not give information about which sentences are similar among the documents. In this paper, we discuss a prototype of anti-plagiarism software that was developed as a web-based application built using Java. It has the ability to read documents in several formats, such as MS Word, MS Excel, MS Power Point, PDF, and plain text. The prototype functions by indexing documents, comparing documents and provides information about which sentences are similar in the documents together with the similarity types of sentences. In terms of speed performance, the software needs further improvement, but in general the result is promising as it can index and compare documents written...

Plagiarism Detection System
Aniket Saini

International Journal of Computer Applications

Plagiarism is frequently referred to as "literary theft" and "academic dishonesty" in the literature, and as it is a rising problem, it is important to be knowledgeable about the subject in order to avoid it and uphold ethical ideals. The proliferation of knowledge on the internet and in digital libraries has made plagiarism one of the most significant problems facing colleges, universities, and research sectors. Finding studentwritten materials or journals is incredibly simple thanks to the internet and sophisticated search engines. Plagiarism, then, is a widespread issue that affects many facets of our lives. It is crucial to note right now that identifying plagiarism is a difficult task. However, the need for technology is necessary for detecting plagiarism easily. Despite the fact that search engines like Google are available, it would be annoying to search phrases repeatedly to examine related resources on the internet. Because plagiarism may be automatically detected and highlighted, implementing a plagiarism detection system which will speed up the process of identifying plagiarism. All that is required is for the user to upload the paper to the detection system. Consequently, this document suggests that we have developed a software program for users and successfully tested it for plagiarism detection in student assignments. It is an efficient web-enabled system for detecting plagiarism.

Towards Building an Arabic Plagiarism Detection System: Plagiarism Detection in Arabic
Muazzam Siddiqui

International Journal of Information Retrieval Research, 2019

This article describes a plagiarism detection system for the Arabic language that combines different similarity-measure techniques to uncover plagiarism in Arabic documents. The proposed system consists of two main components, one document-retrieval and the other detailed similarity analysis. The document-retrieval component generates queries from a given suspicious document and makes use of Google search API to retrieve candidate source documents from the Web. The similarity analysis component takes each source document in turn and attempts to identify the plagiarized parts in the suspicious document. The proposed system is thoroughly evaluated using an indigenous corpus. At the document-retrieval level, the system achieved above 75% accuracy in terms of f-score, whereas at the detailed similarity-computation level, the f-score is above 70%.

A FRAMEWORK FOR PLAGIARISM DETECTION IN ARABIC DOCUMENTS
Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) Computer Science Conference Proceedings (CSCP)

We are developing a web-based plagiarism detection system to detect plagiarism in written Arabic documents. This paper describes the proposed framework of our plagiarism detection system. The proposed plagiarism detection framework comprises of two main components, one global and the other local. The global component is heuristics-based, in which a potentially plagiarized given document is used to construct a set of representative queries by using different best performing heuristics. These queries are then submitted to Google via Google's search API to retrieve candidate source documents from the Web. The local component carries out detailed similarity computations by combining different similarity computation techniques to check which parts of the given document are plagiarised and from which source documents retrieved from the Web. Since this is an ongoing research project, the quality of overall system is not evaluated yet.

Detection of Plagiarism in Arabic Documents
Walid Haikal

International Journal of Information Technology and Computer Science, 2012

Many language-sensitive tools for detecting plagiarism in natural language documents have been developed, particularly for English. Languageindependent tools exist as well, but are considered restrictive as they usually do not take into account specific language features. Detecting plagiarism in Arabic documents is particularly a challenging task because of the complex linguistic structure of Arabic. In this paper, we present a plagiarism detection tool for comparison of Arabic documents to identify potential similarities. The tool is based on a new co mparison algorith m that uses heuristics to compare suspect documents at different hierarch ical levels to avoid unnecessary comparisons. We evaluate its performance in terms of precision and recall on a large data set of Arabic documents, and show its capability in identifying direct and sophisticated copying, such as sentence reordering and synonym substitution. We also demonstrate its advantages over other plagiarism detection tools, including Turnitin, the well-known language-independent tool.

Plagiarism Detection: A focus on the Intrinsic Approach and the Evaluation in the Arabic Language
Imene Bensalem

2020

This thesis deals with two major topics: plagiarism detection in Arabic documents, and plagiarism detection based on the writing style changes in the suspicious document, which is called intrinsic plagiarism detection. This approach is an alternative to the text-matching approach, notably, in the absence of the plagiarism source. Our key contributions in these two areas lie first, in the development of Arabic corpora to allow for the evaluation of plagiarism detection software on this language and, second, in the development of a language-independent intrinsic plagiarism detection method that exploits the character n-grams in a machine learning approach while avoiding the curse of dimensionality. Our third key contribution is an investigation on which character n-grams, in terms of their frequency and length, are the best to detect plagiarism intrinsically. We carried out our experiments on standardised English corpora and also on the developed Arabic corpora using the method we developed and one of the most prominent intrinsic plagiarism detection methods. The findings of our analysis can be exploited by the future intrinsic plagiarism detection methods that use character n-grams. In addition to the above-mentioned technical contributions, we provide the reader with comprehensive and critical surveys of the literature of Arabic plagiarism detection and intrinsic plagiarism detection, which were lacking in both topics.
