A Novel Plagiarism Detection Approach Combining BERT-based Word Embedding, Attention-based LSTMs and an Improved Differential Evolution AlgorithmSeyed Vahid Moravvej, Seyed Jalaleddin Mousavirad, Diego Oliva et al.
Detecting plagiarism involves finding similar items in two different sources. In this article, we propose a novel method for detecting plagiarism that is based on attention mechanism-based long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) word embedding, enhanced with optimized differential evolution (DE) method for pre-training and a focal loss function for training. BERT could be included in a downstream task and fine-tuned as a task-specific BERT can be included in a downstream task and fine-tuned as a task-specific structure, while the trained BERT model is capable of detecting various linguistic characteristics. Unbalanced classification is one of the primary issues with plagiarism detection. We suggest a focal loss-based training technique that carefully learns minority class instances to solve this. Another issue that we tackle is the training phase itself, which typically employs gradient-based methods like back-propagation for the learning process and thus suffers from some drawbacks, including sensitivity to initialization. To initiate the BP process, we suggest a novel DE algorithm that makes use of a clustering-based mutation operator. Here, a winning cluster is identified for the current DE population, and a fresh updating method is used to produce potential answers. We evaluate our proposed approach on three benchmark datasets ( MSRP, SNLI, and SemEval2014) and demonstrate that it performs well when compared to both conventional and population-based methods.

An LSTM-based Plagiarism Detection via Attention Mechanism and a Population-based Approach for Pre-Training Parameters with imbalanced ClassesSeyed Vahid Moravvej, Seyed Jalaleddin Mousavirad, Mahshid Helali Moghadam et al.
Plagiarism is one of the leading problems in academic and industrial environments, which its goal is to find the similar items in a typical document or source code. This paper proposes an architecture based on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and attention mechanism called LSTM-AM-ABC boosted by a population-based approach for parameter initialization. Gradient-based optimization algorithms such as back-propagation (BP) are widely used in the literature for learning process in LSTM, attention mechanism, and feed-forward neural network, while they suffer from some problems such as getting stuck in local optima. To tackle this problem, population-based metaheuristic (PBMH) algorithms can be used. To this end, this paper employs a PBMH algorithm, artificial bee colony (ABC), to moderate the problem. Our proposed algorithm can find the initial values for model learning in all LSTM, attention mechanism, and feed-forward neural network, simultaneously. In other words, ABC algorithm finds a promising point for starting BP algorithm. For evaluation, we compare our proposed algorithm with both conventional and population-based methods. The results clearly show that the proposed method can provide competitive performance.

Biomedical text summarization using Conditional Generative Adversarial Network(CGAN)Seyed Vahid Moravvej, Abdolreza Mirzaei, Mehran Safayani
Text summarization in medicine can help doctors for reducing the time to access important information from countless documents. The paper offers a supervised extractive summarization method based on conditional generative adversarial networks using convolutional neural networks. Unlike previous models, which often use greedy methods to select sentences, we use a new approach for selecting sentences. Moreover, we provide a network for biomedical word embedding, which improves summarization. An essential contribution of the paper is introducing a new loss function for the discriminator, making the discriminator perform better. The proposed model achieves results comparable to the state-of-the-art approaches, as determined by the ROUGE metric. Experiments on the medical dataset show that the proposed method works on average 5% better than the competing models and is more similar to the reference summaries.
