A generic unsupervised method for decomposing multi-author documents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given an unsegmented multi-author text, we wish to automatically separate out distinct authorial threads. We present a novel, entirely unsupervised, method that achieves strong results on multiple testbeds, including those for which authorial threads are topically identical. Unlike previous work, our method requires no specialized linguistic tools and can be easily applied to any text.

Unsupervised Decomposition of a Multi-Author Document Based on Naive-Bayesian Model
This paper proposes a new unsupervised method for decomposing a multi-author document into authorial components. We assume that we do not know anything about the document and the authors, except the number of the authors of that document. The key idea is to exploit the difference in the posterior probability of the Naive-Bayesian model to increase the precision of the clustering assignment and ...
متن کاملClustering 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...
متن کاملDetermining 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...

متن کاملUnsupervised Authorial Clustering Based on Syntactic Structure
This paper proposes a new unsupervised technique for clustering a collection of documents written by distinct individuals into authorial components. We highlight the importance of utilizing syntactic structure to cluster documents by author, and demonstrate experimental results that show the method we outline performs on par with state-of-the-art techniques. Additionally, we argue that this fea...
