Ask HN: How does plagarism checker work?

Hey HN,

I am just curious, how does a plagiarism checker work? Do they use the Google Index to search for relevant content, or are they using something like RAG with LLMs?

Is there any technical paper I can read?

Plagiarism checkers are pretty straightforward to use - paste your text into the plagiarism tool, and it will give you the results with a press of a button. That may sound simple enough, but many "gears turning" happen behind the scenes (more details - https://ivypanda.com/plagiarism-checker).

Compress the texts and find the distance between the results
