Abstract:
With the rapid development of Internet technology and freely availability of academic materials in electronic format, plagiarism has become a key issue in universities and colleges. Therefore researchers have been developing various tools to address plagiarism.
Plagiarism can be occurred in any academic field, but developing a generic tool to address all kind of plagiarism is not feasible. So we developed a product to detect plagiarism in programming assignments submitted by students those who are taking programming courses in universities and colleges.
Plagiarism detection in programming source codes can be done by various methods. Our proposed solution uses machine learning approach to plagiarism detection. In addition our proposed has been using several learning algorithms and ensemble learning approach to enhanced performance of the system.
At present this system is outperforming some plagiarism detection tools which are based on the machine learning approach to detect plagiarism.
