Who's the Thief? Automatic Detection of the Direction of Plagiarism

Determining the direction of plagiarism (who plagiarized whom in a given pair of documents) is one of the most interesting problems in the field of automatic plagiarism detection. We present here an approach using an extension of the method Encoplot, which won the 1st international competition on plagiarism detection in 2009. We have tested it on a large-scale corpus of artificial plagiarism, with good results. Key words: plagiarism detection, plagiarism direction, linguistic forensics
