automatic translation machines has led to increased cross-language plagiarism.
Manual detection of cross-language plagiarism is difficult, as such, developing
an automatic system to detect such plagiarism is necessary. Although, there
are a number of studies on detecting cross-language plagiarism in the form of
Euro-English, Malay-English and Indonesian-English, there remains few studies
concerned with the detection of Arabic-English cross-language plagiarism. This
study proposes an Arabic-English cross-language plagiarism detection tool using
the Winnowing algorithm. We evaluate its performance in terms of precision and
recall on a data set consisting of Wikipedia articles. The performance of the
proposed tool proved good with 97% precision, 81% recall and 89% F-measure evaluation
metrics. The results show that the Winnowing algorithm can be used effectively
to detect Arabic-English cross-language plagiarism.]]>Ali, A.E.T., H.D. Abdulla and V. Snasel,20112011pp: 3942Alzahrani, S.M., N. Salim and A. Abraham,201142133149Anguita, A., A. Beghelli and W.
