Reliable plagiarism detection system based on deep learning approaches
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The phenomenon of scientific burglary has seen a significant increase recently due to the technological development in software. Therefore, many types of research have been developed to address this phenomenon. However, detecting lexical, syntactic, and semantic text plagiarism remains to be a challenge. Thus, in this study, we have computed and recorded all the features that reflect different types of text similarities in a new database. The created database is proposed for intelligent learning to solve text plagiarism detection problems. Using the created database, a reliable plagiarism detection system is also proposed, which depends on intelligent deep learning. Different approaches to deep learning, such as convolution and recurrent neural network architectures, were considered during the construction of this system. A comparative study was implemented to evaluate the proposed intelligent system on the two benchmark datasets: PAN 2013 and PAN 2014 of the PAN Workshop series. The experimental results showed that the proposed system based on long short-term memory (LSTM) achieved the first rank compared to up-to-date ranking systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
