A new corpus for the evaluation of arabic intrinsic plagiarism detection

The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-40802-1_6The present paper introduces the first corpus for the evaluation of Arabic intrinsic plagiarism detection. The corpus consists of 1024 artificial suspicious documents in which 2833 plagiarism cases have been inserted automatically from source documentsThis work is the result of the collaboration in the framework of the bilateral research project AECID-PCI AP/043848/11 (Application of Natural Language Processing to the Need of the University) between the Universitat Politècnica de València in Spain and Constantine 2 University in AlgeriaBensalem, I.; Rosso, P.; Chikhi, S.
