Plagiarism Detector takes in two files as input and tells you the similarity between the two files in percentage. It also takes in a synonyms file where each line is considered a synonym group e.g a line containing "run sprint jog" is considered a synonym group. Finally, you can also specify what the tuple size should be. By default , the tuple size is 3.
