I've been a TA for Matlab course in my university for three semesters and there are a lot of students cheating in assignments. I thought it would be interesting to see how different submissions are grouped into clustered so I made a visualization page (and a bunch of scripts). Turns out that there are quite a few clusters even the similarity threshold is set to be 90%.

I wonder what it's gonna be like in Google Code Jam submissions. Although alike submissions don't necessarily imply cheating.




Haha: "Students, to pass this class, analyze submissions in MATLAB, and write a report implicating the copiers."


That's a nice idea!
