How to detect plagiarism in the text using Python

In this tutorial, we're going to learn how to Make a Plagiarism Detector in Python using machine learning techniques such as word2vec and cosine similarity in just a few lines of code. Once finished our plagiarism detector will be capable of loading a student's assignment from files and then compute the similarity to determine if students copied each other. To be able to follow through this tutorial you need to have scikit-learn installed on your machine. We all know that computers can only understand 0s and 1s, and for us to perform some computation on textual data we need a way to convert the text into numbers. The process of converting the textual data into an array of numbers is generally known as word embedding.
