• Resumen

  • Thanks to the creativity on the part of online translators, plagiarism in now easy to spot. A team led by Alberto Barron-Cedeno at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain, used a number of statistical methods to analyze suspicious-looking documents. One involved breaking each text down into fragments that were five sentences long and looking for elements of words that were similar in two languages. Another method used a bilingual dictionary to automatically check how many words in each text were the same.
