How to Build a Plagiarism Detector [Part 2] – Semantic Search

Table of Contents

In this post, I will show you a better approach to building a Plagiarism detector tool, other than the one we built last time which checks for exact matches on the Internet.

Checking for Plagiarism in a given text using AI and Vector Embeddings

Today’s method will check for plagiarism based on how close the meaning and sentence structure are rather than searching for exact matches. This will help detect paraphrased text in addition to copy-pasted text.

We will go over 4 approaches, where we will compare articles as a whole and as chunks. Each approach will be applied using AI and vector embeddings, resulting in the following 4 approaches:

Method 1: Comparing chunks of both articles using vector embeddings

Method 2: Comparing 2 articles as a whole using vector embeddings

Method 3: Comparing chunks of both articles using AI

Method 4: Comparing 2 articles as a whole using AI

What are Vector Embeddings?

If you know what vector embeddings are, feel free to skip this section.

Vector Embedding is one of the most important concepts in machine learning. It is used in many NLP, recommendation, and search algorithms.

It enables computers to understand and process complex data, such as text, images, and more, in a more human-like manner.

By representing objects or words as high-dimensional vectors (points in space), embeddings capture their meanings, relationships, and properties in a way that numerical algorithms can manipulate.

How embeddings models work

So, all words/phrases/paragraphs with similar meanings are positioned closely together in the embedding space, allowing models to recognize patterns and make predictions.

In our case, we’ll use vector embeddings to generate high-dimensional vectors for pieces of text. Then, using something called cosine similarity, we’ll know if the texts are similar in meaning and structure.

💡 Tip 💡 

Make sure to go over part 1 and apply the simpler implemention to understand how plagiarism checkers work to navigate easily through this one.

The Implementations

I’m gonna go over each implementation briefly, explaining the idea, and in the end, I’m gonna compare all the results we got and analyze them. (I’ll share all the resources I used at the end don’t worry )

For more accurate results and analysis, and to make things easier, I won’t be surfing the web and comparing my pieces of text with pieces on the web as we did in the first part. But I’ll use 2 pieces of text that are close in meaning to each other I got, and I’ll apply all the methods to them.

After understanding how these methods all work, you can then add the search function to your code, which I mentioned in part 1, and you’ll have your own custom semantic Plagiarism Checker!

Method 1: Comparing Chunks Using Vector Embeddings

The idea of this approach is I’m gonna split the article we want to test and the article we’re comparing it to into chunks, where the chunking method used is by-paragraph.

Then I’m gonna turn all these chunks into vector embeddings using OpenAI’s “text-embedding-3-small” model, and I’ll compare each chunk from the input article with all chunks in the other article, using the cosine similarity function, giving it a threshold of 0.7

This threshold will be used to compare the output of the cosine similarity to it. If the cosine similarity is greater than 0.7, then the 2 vectors are similar in meaning and, therefore, plagiarised. The threshold I chose is just for testing; if you want to apply a more accurate one, you’ll have to do your own research to know what threshold would be the best in this case.

As you can see in the above code, in the main section, we’re giving it the text_to_check, which will be run using the search_semantically_similar function, which, in its role, goes over all the steps I mentioned above.


In the codes, I’ll be using the SimplerLLM library I built to facilitate and speed up the coding process. In these implementations, I’ll be using it to generate text using OpenAI’s API(methods 3 and 4) and chunk text by paragraphs using this simple function:

chunks = chunk_by_paragraphs(text)

Other than that, the code should be simple to read and understand, given all the comments I added throughout the code😅 However, in case you found something unclear and you need some help, don’t hesitate to drop your questions on the forum!

Method 2: Comparing 2 articles as a whole using vector embeddings

In this method, we’ll be directly comparing both articles as a whole without chunking them by converting both of them into vector embeddings. Then, using cosine similarity, we’ll see if they’re similar to each other.

from scipy.spatial.distance import cosine
import time 
import resources
import openai

def convert_to_vector(text):
    """

    )
    return response.data[0].embedding  # Return the embedding vector

    article_text = resources.article_two  # texts.two contains the text of the article to compare with
        
    article_vector = convert_to_vector(article_text)  # Convert the article text to a vector
        
    similarity = calculate_cosine_similarity(input_vector, article_vector)  # Calculate the cosine similarity between the two vectors
        
    result.append(similarity)  # Append the similarity score to the list
    result.append(is_similarity_significant(similarity))  # Append the result of the significance check to the list
    
    return result  # Return the list containing the similarity score and significance flag
    
def calculate_plagiarism_score(text):
    """

#MAIN SECTION
start_time = time.time()  # Record the start time of the operation

plagiarism_score = calculate_plagiarism_score(text_to_check)[0]
significance = calculate_plagiarism_score(text_to_check)[1]

end_time = time.time()  # Record the end time of the operation
runtime = end_time - start_time  # Calculate the total runtime

# Output the results
print(f"Plagiarism Score: {plagiarism_score}%")  # Print the calculated plagiarism score
print(f"Is result Significant: {significance}")  # Print the signficance of the score
print(f"Runtime: {runtime} seconds")  # Print the total runtime of the script

As you can see, the code is very similar in structure to method 1. However, the search_semantically_similar function was edited to directly turn both articles into vectors, compare them, and return the result without chunking.

Plus, I added the calculate_plagiarism_score function, which takes the similarity score and generates a percentage of it. Then, it will return the percentage score and True/False statement if the plagiarism score is significant, which will be analyzed by comparing the cosine similarity score with the threshold I initiated to be 0.7

Method 3: Comparing chunks of both articles using AI

Now it’s time for AI to enter the battlelfield😂

This method is the same as method 1 in concept; however, instead of comparing the chunks by embedding them into vectors and generating the cosine similarity, we’ll compare them using a power prompt and OpenAI’s GPT model.

from SimplerLLM.tools.text_chunker import chunk_by_paragraphs
from SimplerLLM.language.llm import LLM, LLMProvider
import time 
import resources
import json

def compare_chunks(text_chunk):
    """

    """
    article_text = resources.article_two  # The text to compare against

    prompt = resources.prompt3  # A template string for creating the comparison prompt
    final_prompt = prompt.format(piece=text_chunk, article=article_text)  # Formatting the prompt with the chunk and article texts

    llm_instance = LLM.create(provider=LLMProvider.OPENAI)  # Creating an instance of the language model
    response = llm_instance.generate_text(final_prompt)  # Generating text/response from the LLM

    response_data = json.loads(response)  # Parsing the response into a JSON object

    return response_data  # Returning the parsed response data

def calculate_plagiarism_score(text):
    """
    Calculates the plagiarism score of a text by comparing its chunks against an article text
    and evaluating the responses from OpenAI's Model
    """
    text_chunks = chunk_by_paragraphs(text)  # Split the input text into chunks using SimplerLLM built-in method
    total_chunks = text_chunks.num_chunks  # The total number of chunks in the input text

    similarities_json = {}  # Dictionary to store similarities found
    chunk_index = 1  # Index counter for naming the chunks in the JSON
    plagiarised_chunks_count = 0  # Counter for the number of chunks considered plagiarised
    total_scores = 0  # Sum of scores from the LLM responses

    for chunk in text_chunks.chunks:
        response_data = compare_chunks(chunk.text)  # Compare each chunk using the LLM
        total_scores += response_data["score"]  # Add the score from this chunk to the total scores

        if response_data["score"] > 6:  # A score above 6 indicates plagiarism
            plagiarised_chunks_count += 1
            similarities_json[f"chunk {chunk_index}"] = response_data["article"]  # Record the article text identified as similar
            json.dumps(similarities_json)  # Convert the JSON dictionary to a string for easier storage
            chunk_index += 1  # Increment the chunk index

    plagiarism_result_json = {}  # Dictionary to store the final plagiarism results
    plagiarism_score = (plagiarised_chunks_count / total_chunks) * 100 if total_chunks > 0 else 0  # Calculate the plagiarism score as a percentage

    plagiarism_result_json["Score"] = plagiarism_score
    plagiarism_result_json["Similarities"] = similarities_json # Adding where we found similaritites
    plagiarism_result_json["IsPlagiarised"] = (total_scores > total_chunks * 6)  # Recording if the response is really plagiarised

    json.dumps(plagiarism_result_json)  # Convert the final results dictionary to a JSON string

    return plagiarism_result_json  # Return the plagiarism results as a dictionary

#MAIN SECTION
start_time = time.time()  # Record the start time of the operation

text_to_check = resources.article_one  # Assign the text to check for plagiarism

plagiarism_score = calculate_plagiarism_score(text_to_check)
formatted_plagiarism_score = json.dumps(plagiarism_score, indent=2) # Format the output for better readability

end_time = time.time()  # Record the end time of the operation
runtime = end_time - start_time  # Calculate the total runtime

# Output the results
print(f"Plagiarism Score: {formatted_plagiarism_score}")  # Print the calculated plagiarism score
print(f"Runtime: {runtime} seconds")  # Print the total runtime of the script

In the code, the main function is the calculate_plagiarism_score, which chunks the articles, sends them to the compare_chunks function to get the similarity score, generates a total plagiarism score, and formats the results as JSON to add some details other than the plagiarism score, keeping them clear and readable.

The compare_chunks function creates a GPT instance using SimplerLLM, then uses a power prompt to analyze both chunks and generate a score out of 10 for how similar they are. Here’s the prompt I’m using:

#TASK
You are an expert in plagiarism checking. Your task is to analyze two pieces of text, an input chunk,
and an article. Then you're gonna check if there are pieces of the article that are similar in meaning to 
the input chunk. After that you're gonna pick the piece of article which is most similar and generate for it
a score out of 10 for how similar it is to the input chunk. Then you're gonna need to generate the output
as a JSON format that contains the input chunk, the article chunk which is the most similar, and the score
out of 10. 

### SCORING CRITERIA 
When checking for pieces in the article that are close in meaning to the chunk of text make sure you 
go over the article at least 2 times to make sure you picked the the right chunk in the article which is the most 
similair to the input chunk. Then when picking a score it should be based of how similar are the meanings 
and structure of both these sentences.

# INPUTS
input chunk: [{piece}]
article: [{article}]

# OUTPUT
The output should be only a valid JSON format nothing else, here's an example structure:
{{
    "chunk": "[input chunk]",
    "article": "[chunk from article which is similar]",
    "score": [score]
}}

As you can see, it is a detailed prompt, very well crafted to generate a specific result. You can learn how to craft similar prompts yourself by becoming a Prompt Engineer.

Method 4: Comparing 2 articles as a whole using AI

This method is a combination of methods 2 and 3, where we’re gonna be comparing both articles as a whole but using AI instead of vector embeddings.

from SimplerLLM.language.llm import LLM, LLMProvider
import time 
import resources
import json

def compare_chunks(text_chunk):
    """
    Compares a given text chunk with an article to determine plagiarism using a language model.
    
    Returns dict: The response from the language model, parsed as a JSON dictionary.

    article_text = resources.article_two  # The text to compare against

    # Formatting the prompt to include both the input text chunk and the article text
    comparison_prompt = resources.prompt4.format(piece=text_chunk, article=article_text)

    llm_instance = LLM.create(provider=LLMProvider.OPENAI)  # Creating an instance of the language model
    response = llm_instance.generate_text(comparison_prompt)  # Generating response

    response_data = json.loads(response)  # Parsing the response string into a JSON dictionary

    return response_data  # Returning the parsed JSON data

def calculate_plagiarism_score(text_to_analyze):
    """

    Returns dict: A JSON dictionary containing the plagiarism score and the raw data from the analysis.
    """
    plagiarism_results = {}  # Dictionary to store the final plagiarism score and analysis data
    plagiarised_chunk_count = 0  # Counter for chunks considered plagiarised

    analysis_data = compare_chunks(text_to_analyze)  # Analyze the input text for plagiarism
    total_chunks = len(analysis_data)  # Total number of chunks analyzed
    
    for key, value in analysis_data.items():
        # Check if the value is a list with at least one item and contains a 'score' key
        if isinstance(value, list) and len(value) > 0 and 'score' in value[0] and value[0]['score'] > 6:
            plagiarised_chunk_count += 1
        # Check if the value is a dictionary and contains a 'score' key
        elif isinstance(value, dict) and 'score' in value and value['score'] > 6:
            plagiarised_chunk_count += 1

    plagiarism_score = (plagiarised_chunk_count / total_chunks) * 100 if total_chunks > 0 else 0 # Calculate plagiarism score as a percentage
    plagiarism_results["Total Score"] = plagiarism_score  # Add the score to the results dictionary
    plagiarism_results["Data"] = analysis_data  # Add the raw analysis data to the results dictionary

    json.dumps(plagiarism_results)  # Convert the results dictionary to a clear JSON string

    return plagiarism_results  # Return the final results dictionary
    
#MAIN SECTION
start_time = time.time()  # Record the start time of the operation

text_to_check = resources.article_one # Assign the text to check for plagiarism

plagiarism_score = calculate_plagiarism_score(text_to_check)
formatted_plagiarism_score = json.dumps(plagiarism_score, indent=2) # Format the output for better readability

end_time = time.time()  # Record the end time of the operation
runtime = end_time - start_time  # Calculate the total runtime

# Output the results
print(f"Plagiarism Score: {formatted_plagiarism_score}")  # Print the scores
print(f"Runtime: {runtime} seconds")  # Print the total runtime of the script

This code is 80% like the code in method 3. However, instead of comparing each chunk, we send both articles as a whole and let OpenAI’s GPT generate a detailed plagiarism test, comparing all parts of the articles as it wishes. In the end, it returns a detailed output containing a plagiarism score and the top sections are found to be similar in their similarity score.

All this is done using this power prompt:

### TASK
You are an expert in plagiarism checking. Your task is to analyze two pieces of text, an input text,
and an article. Then you're gonna check if there are pieces of the article that are similar in meaning to 
the pieces of the input text. After that you're gonna pick chunk pairs that are most similar to each other
in meaning and structure, a chunk from the input text and a chunk from the article. You will then generate 
a score out of 10 for each pair for how similar they are.
Then you're gonna need to generate the output as a JSON format for each pair that contains 
the input text chunk, the article chunk which are the most similar, and the score out of 10. 

### SCORING CRITERIA 
When checking for peices in the article that are close in meaning to the chunk of text make sure you 
go over the article at least 2 times to make sure you picked the right pairs of chunks which are most similar.
Then when picking a score it should be based of how similar are the meanings and structure of both these sentences.

### INPUTS
input text: [{piece}]
article: [{article}]

### OUTPUT
The output should be only a valid JSON format nothing else, here's an example structure:
{{
    "pair 1": 
    [
    "chunk 1": "[chunk from input text]",
    "article 1": "[chunk from article which is similar]",
    "score": [score]
    ],
    "pair 2": 
    [
    "chunk 2": "[chunk from input text]",
    "article 2": "[chunk from article which is similar]",
    "score": [score]
    ],
    "pair 3": 
    [
    "chunk 3": "[chunk from input text]",
    "article 3": "[chunk from article which is similar]",
    "score": [score]
    ],
    "pair 4": 
    [
    "chunk 4": "[chunk from input text]",
    "article 4": "[chunk from article which is similar]",
    "score": [score]
    ]
}}

The prompt in methods 3 and 4 is very important to be well-crafted since all the results are based on it. Feel free to tweak and optimize it to your liking and if it generates better results make sure to share it with us in the comments below!

Method 5: My Opinion

After we tried 2 types of machines to do the work for us, let’s now use human intelligence and see if their results are significant!

Here are the 2 texts I was comparing:

Article 1:

What is generative AI?

Generative AI refers to deep-learning models that can generate high-quality text, images, and other content based on the data they were trained on.

Artificial intelligence has gone through many cycles of hype, but even to skeptics, the release of ChatGPT seems to mark a turning point. OpenAI's chatbot, powered by its latest large language model, can write poems, tell jokes, and churn out essays that look like a human created them. 
Prompt ChatGPT with a few words, and out comes love poems in the form of Yelp reviews, or song lyrics in the style of Nick Cave.
Article 1:

What is generative AI?

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) describes algorithms (such as ChatGPT) that can be used to create new content, including audio, code, images, text, simulations, and videos. 
Recent breakthroughs in the field have the potential to drastically change the way we approach content creation.

Generative AI systems fall under the broad category of machine learning, and here's how one such system—ChatGPT—describes what it can do:

Ready to take your creativity to the next level? Look no further than generative AI! 
This nifty form of machine learning allows computers to generate all sorts of new and exciting content, from music and art to entire virtual worlds. And it's not just for fun—generative AI has plenty of practical uses too, like creating new product designs and optimizing business processes. So why wait? Unleash the power of generative AI and see what amazing creations you can come up with!

Did anything in that paragraph seem off to you? Maybe not. The grammar is perfect, the tone works, and the narrative flows.

As you can both articles are about the same topic and they’re just a small chunk of it, so it’s something logical for the plagiarism score to be at least 50% if not 80%. Read both of them, and you’ll see they’re very close; they were just written in different styles.

Therefore, to get more accurate results and see which of the methods is the best among them, we’ll need to run all of them on 10-20 pairs of long articles.

Of course, I can’t do that in this blog and share all the results. It would take forever😂 So, I’ll keep the experimentation for you and share the results with us!

Run The Codes

To run the codes, you’re gonna have to create a .env file that contains your OpenAI API key like this:

Syntax to put an API Key in a .env file

This way, all the methods will run perfectly, but using the articles I presented above. If you wish to input your own articles, you will find them in the resources.py file along with both power prompts I mentioned above.

Plus, don’t forget to install all the necessary libraries, which you will find in the requirements file. Install them by running this in the terminal:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Comparison

I executed all the methods on the same set of articles I presented above, and here were the results:

FactorsMethod 1Method 2Method 3Method 4
Plagiarism Score 25%85%100%100%
Runtime44 secs1 sec8 secs10 secs

Runtime analysis

Logically, Methods 1 and 3 are supposed to take more time than Methods 2 and 4 because they compare all chunks rather than the articles as a whole. However, the runtime of method 1 is very bad, so to use this method, you’re gonna either need to optimize the code to run faster (ex: parallel programming)

Other than that, all runtimes are good, so there is no need to optimize any of the other codes.

Plagiarism Score Analysis

I’ll give my personal analysis of each method and then draw a full conclusion.

Method 1:

25% for these 2 articles is very low, considering they’re very similar in meaning. However, I hypothesize that since each chunk is being compared to all other chunks, it’s something logical that not all parts of the article are gonna be about the same idea.

So, when we’re comparing, for example, a chunk in paragraph 1 and a chunk in the last paragraph, of course, these chunks would be about totally different ideas. Plus, the probability for a pair to be similar is way lower than that of being about a different idea because, in each article, every idea is mentioned once, so only one chunk will have a very similar meaning to the chunk we’re comparing.

However, this method has a major drawback: where if in one article we have a paragraph and in the other article we have exactly the same paragraph but split into 2, it won’t detect that they’re the same. That’s because we’re chunking based on paragraphs so in article 2 the 2 paragraphs would be 2 different chunks while in article 1 they would be 1 chunk, therefore affecting the score. To solve this, we need a better chunking method!

Method 2:

A score of 85% is very fair for such articles; they are truly very similar. However, do you think comparing 2 articles as a whole is really efficient to test for plagiarism? Personally, I don’t think it’s a good practice to use it since the purpose of plagiarism detection is to check for parts of articles that are found on the internet.

In this case, it will only work if both articles are the exact same copies from the introduction to the conclusion, giving a 100% accurate result.

Methods 3 and 4:

These 2 methods are kinda the same because in the background, both of them are using AI to go over different chunks and check which pairs are the most similar. However, the main difference is that in 3 we are manually chunking the articles by paragraph, while in 4 the AI is doing it as it finds the most efficient, so we can’t actually tell how it is chunking the articles.

In addition, these methods totally rely on how well-crafted the prompt is, so you can get better results by improving it and vice versa. The main factor that determines how good the prompt is, is making it apply the best plagiarism algorithm possible, where you’re gonna have to do your own research understand the algorithm, and implement it in a well-crafted prompt.

Conclusion

There is no actual conclusion; it’s more of an opinion.

Based on the tests I did, I can say that method 1 might be the best way to implement a good plagiarism checker because it goes into detail about all the chunks of the articles and compares them. So, with a better chunking method and more optimized code to make it faster, I think it would make a good plagiarism checker!

  1. Hmm… maybe a score should be presented as a mean average score of the four methods. This could be a more accurate representation of plagiarism. In this case the mean average is 77.5% ((25% + 85% + 100% + 100%) / 4). What do you think about this?
