چکیده

We describe a technique for attributing parts of a written text to a set of unknown authors. Nothing is assumed to be known a priori about the writing styles of potential authors. We use multiple independent clusterings of an input text to identify parts that are similar and dissimilar to one another. We describe algorithms necessary to combine the multiple clusterings into a meaningful output. We show results of the application of the technique on texts having multiple writing styles.

Clustering by Authorship Within and Across Documents

The vast majority of previous studies in authorship attribution assume the existence of documents (or parts of documents) labeled by authorship to be used as training instances in either closed-set or open-set attribution. However, in several applications it is not easy or even possible to find such labeled data and it is necessary to build unsupervised attribution models that are able to estim...

Kernel Methods and String Kernels for Authorship Analysis

This paper presents our approach to the PAN 2012 Traditional Authorship Attribution tasks and the Sexual Predator Identification task. We approached these tasks with machine learning methods that work at the character level. More precisely, we treated texts as just sequences of symbols (strings) and used string kernels in conjunction with different kernel-based learning methods: supervised and ...

Authorship and Plagiarism Detection Using Binary BOW Features

Identifying writing style shifts and variations are fundamental capabilities when addressing authorship related tasks. In this work we examine a simplified approach for unsupervised authorship and plagiarism detection which is based on binary bag of words representation. We evaluate our approach using PAN-2012 Authorship Attribution challenge data, which includes both open/closed class authorsh...

Vote/Veto Classification, Ensemble Clustering and Sequence Classification for Author Identification

The Author Identification task for PAN 2012 consisted of three different sub-tasks: traditional authorship attribution, authorship clustering and sexual predator identification. We developed three machine learning approaches for these tasks. For the two authorship related tasks we created various sets of feature spaces, where individual differences in writing styles are assumed to surface in ju...

Determining if Two Documents are by the Same Author

Almost any conceivable authorship attribution problem is reducible to one fundamental problem: was a pair of (possibly short) documents written by the same author. In this paper, we offer an (almost) unsupervised method for solving this problem with surprisingly high accuracy. The main idea is to use repeated feature sub-sampling methods to determine if one document of the pair allows us to sel...

Detecting authorship deception: a supervised machine learning approach using author writeprints

We describe a new supervised machine learning approach for detecting authorship deception, a specific type of authorship attribution task particularly relevant for cybercrime forensic investigations, and demonstrate its validity on two case studies drawn from realistic online data sets. The core of our approach involves identifying uncharacteristic behavior for an author, based on a writeprint ...
