A New High-Performance Approach to Approximate Pattern-Matching for Plagiarism Detection in Blockchain-Based Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

We are presenting a fast and innovative approach to performing approximate pattern-matching for plagiarism detection, using an NDFA-based approach that significantly enhances performance compared to other existing similarity measures. We outline the advantages of our approach in the context of blockchain-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs). We present, formalize, discuss and test our proposed approach in several real-world scenarios and with different similarity measures commonly used in plagiarism detection, and observe significant throughput enhancements throughout the entire spectrum of tests, with little to no compromises on the accuracy of the detection process overall. We conclude that our approach is suitable and adequate to perform approximate pattern-matching for plagiarism detection, and outline research directions for future improvements.
