Exploring Mathematical Models and Algorithms for Plagiarism Detection in Text Documents: A Proof of Concept

Tanvir Ahmed*

The aim of this article is to explore the literature and develop a proof of concept application for detecting plagiarism in text documents. Plagiarism has become a crucial research area in recent years as various research, publishing and teaching institutions seek to drastically eliminate the reinvention of the wheel associated with many research studies. People have wondered about how to check a suspected document against millions of reference documents to find an instance of plagiarism. This study focuses on providing the audience with the necessary information about mathematical models for texts, text processing, similarity measures, algorithms and data structures for detecting plagiarism in text documents based on the type of texts.
