Rank Distance as a Stylistic Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a new distance function (rank distance) designed to reflect stylistic similarity between texts. To assess the ability of this distance measure to capture stylistic similarity between texts, we tested it in two different machine learning settings: clustering and binary classification.

Comparing Statistical Similarity Measures for Stylistic Multivariate Analysis
The goal of this paper is to compare a set of distance/similarity measures, some motivated statistically, others motivated stylistically, regarding their ability to reflect stylistic similarity between texts. To assess the ability of these distance/similarity functions to capture stylistic similarity between texts, we have tested them in the two most frequently employed multivariate statistical...

متن کاملMeasuring style with the authorship ratio An invariant metric of lexical similarity
Stylometry is the study of the computational and mathematical properties of style. The aim of a stylometrist is to derive stylometrics and models based upon those metrics to quantitatively gauge stylistic propensities. This paper presents a method of formulating a stylistic distance function via a weighted ratio of lexical stylometrics, the higher the ratio the more the styles diverge. The coef...
متن کاملLearning the Stylistic Similarity Between Human Motions
This paper presents a computational model of stylistic similarity between human motions that is statistically derived from a comprehensive collection of captured, stylistically similar motion pairs. In this model, a set of hypersurfaces learned by single-class SVM and kernel PCA characterize the region occupied by stylistically similar motion pairs in the space of all possible pairs. The propos...
متن کاملNew distance and similarity measures for hesitant fuzzy soft sets
The hesitant fuzzy soft set (HFSS), as a combination of hesitant fuzzy and soft sets, is regarded as a useful tool for dealing with the uncertainty and ambiguity of real-world problems. In HFSSs, each element is defined in terms of several parameters with arbitrary membership degrees. In addition, distance and similarity measures are considered as the important tools in different areas such as ...
