Unicheck Releases Contract Cheating Detection to Help Increase Academic Integrity
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Unicheck [ 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2560140-1&h=3950213367&u=https%3A%2F%2Funicheck.com%2F&a=Unicheck 
], an Amazon-hosted plagiarism and cheating prevention software, has released 
Emma, an AI-based authorship verification assistant. Embedded into the 
software, Emma studies the writing style of each student and says whether newly 
handed-in papers are likely to have been written by the submitter.

"Pressure to succeed often pushes students to cut corners and resort to 
contract cheating. Academic writing services cover anything from compiling a 
PhD thesis to a one-page essay," said Serhii Tkachenko, CEO at Unicheck. "We 
have released Emma to encourage students to develop their own voice."

Unicheck has integrated Emma into their Originality Report, as it is more 
convenient for academics to have one software, rather than separate products 
for contract cheating identification and originality detection. 

This approach automates all stages of evaluation and saves maximum time for 
academics. No manual work is required from educators or admins to set it up. 
Emma launches automatically with the originality check and will be available 
for all customers with different Learning Management Systems.

Natural Language Processing and stylometry enable Emma to analyze the writing 
of each text, categorizing it into linguistic and stylistic silos. As a 
sophisticated AI algorithm, Emma continuously hones her authorship verification 
skills.

The AI-based assistant requires three texts with a word count ranging between 
300 – 1,000 to study the individual's writing voice. The authenticity of the 
texts is extremely crucial since they form the data set applied to make 
authorship verification assumptions.

With Emma at hand, educators can spend less time grading papers, and students 
can become motivated to enhance their writing skills.

"Unicheck is on a mission to raise academic integrity in higher education and 
K-12," adds Tkachenko. "This ultimate goal drives us to add new sophisticated 
yet handy features to Unicheck, like Emma, that encourage students to develop 
individual voice and reduce contract cheating attempts."

Another Unicheck update is arriving shortly to identify many tricks played to 
deceive a plagiarism checker. For more detail on the checker's forthcoming 
improvements, please visit the contact page [
