The Impact of Syntax Trees and Semantic Issues on the Source Code of the Plagiarism Detection Tools

摘要

Plagiarism detection is a major exercise in the academic environment for which several tools are deployed. They rely on proper source code and some time, the source code is modified to hide copying. In these cases, the results are distorting. We in this work have used syntactical and semantic aspects of the code to do pre-processing activities. Next, we process the abstract syntax trees to find the correct volume of the location of the plagiarized code.
