Electronic Money Laundering Detection in Transactions of Payment Service Providers

Under the coverage of legitimate commerce, criminals money-launder their illicit incomes through the payment gateways provided by Payment Service Providers (PSP). In order to do money-laundering forensics in transactions of PSP companies, a new method was proposed by Hojati et al which is done through detecting deviations from class behavior based on peer group analysis (PGA) method. Our experi...

Evaluating the Performance of LSA for Source-code Plagiarism Detection

Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is an intelligent information retrieval technique that uses mathematical algorithms for analyzing large corpora of text and revealing the underlying semantic information of documents. LSA is a highly parameterized statistical method, and its effectiveness is driven by the setting of its parameters which are adjusted based on the task to which it is applied. This p...

Evaluating Robustness for 'IPCRESS': Surrey's Text Alignment for Plagiarism Detection

This paper briefly describes the approach taken to the subtask of Text Alignment in the Plagiarism Detection track at PAN 14. We have now reimplemented our PAN12 approach in a consistent programmatic manner, courtesy of secured research funding. PAN 14 offers us the first opportunity to evaluate the performance/consistency of this re-implementation. We present results from this re-implementatio...
