• Abstract: Source code plagiarism is a significant issue in educational practice, and educators need user-friendly tools to cope with such academic dishonesty. This article introduces the latest version of Dolos, a state-of-the-art ecosystem of tools for detecting and preventing plagiarism in educational source code. In this new version, the primary focus has been on enhancing the user experience. Educators can now run the entire plagiarism detection pipeline from a new web app in their browser, eliminating the need for any installation or configuration. Completely redesigned analytics dashboards provide an instant assessment of whether a collection of source files contains suspected cases of plagiarism and how widespread plagiarism is within the collection. The dashboards support hierarchically structured navigation to facilitate zooming in and out of suspect cases. Clusters are an essential new component of the dashboard design, reflecting the observation that plagiarism can occur among larger groups of students. To meet various user needs, the Dolos software stack for source code plagiarism detections now includes a web interface, a JSON application programming interface (API), a command line interface (CLI), a JavaScript library and a preconfigured Docker container. Clear documentation and a free-to-use instance of the web app can be found at https://dolos.ugent.be. The source code is also available on GitHub.

• LLMs Plagiarize: Ensuring Responsible Sourcing of Large Language Model Training Data Through Knowledge Graph Comparison [0.0]
  We propose a novel system, a variant of a plagiarism detection system, that assesses whether a knowledge source has been used in the training or fine-tuning of a large language model. Unlike current methods, we utilize an approach that uses Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples to create knowledge graphs from both a source document and an LLM continuation of that document. These graphs are then analyzed with respect to content using cosine similarity and with respect to structure using a normalized version of graph edit distance that shows the degree of isomorphism.

  Self-supervised pre-training has gained traction for learning generic code representations valuable for many downstream SE tasks. We argue that it is also essential to factor in how developers code day-to-day for general-purpose representation learning. In particular, we propose CONCORD, a self-supervised, contrastive learning strategy to place benign clones closer in the representation space while moving deviants further apart.

  Autoregressive language models are emerging as the de-facto standard for generating answers. Previous work has explored ways to partition the search space into hierarchical structures. In this work we propose an alternative that doesn't force any structure in the search space: using all ngrams in a passage as its possible identifiers.

It comprises a framework that couples techniques inspired by genetic programming with domain-specific knowledge to effectively undermine plagiarism detectors. Moss is both fast and effective: it can, in minutes, generate modified versions of programs that are likely to escape detection.
