In this paper, we present our approach for hiding an author’s identity by masking their style, which we developed for the Author Obfuscation task, part of the PAN-2016 ...

In this paper, we present a series of experiments in which we analyze the usage of graffiti style features for signaling personal gang identification in a large, online street gangs forum, with an accuracy as high as 83% at the gang alliance level and 72% for the specific gang. We then build on that result in predicting how members of different gangs signal the relationship between their gangs ...
