Anti-plagiarism certification be an academic mandate

Abstract

The analysis from 4,000 odd pages taken from various search engines, for measuring the document similarity depicted interesting results. Two keywords were presented to the documents and calculated the number of such occurrences within a word-window of three to eight. Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method is applied to compute the effects with different sets and keywords. An uniform gradient is noticed in the case of two documents similar in greater extent. In all other cases, it appeared to be a curve. Further mismatch at lower windowscales indicated dissimilarity of the documents. Good match at higher window scales showed a better similarity.
