An Empirical Method Exploring a Large Set of Features for Authorship Identification (original) (raw)

Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the author identification issues of the document whose origin is unknown. To overcome these problems, we propose a new hybrid approach combining the statistical and stylistic analysis. Our introduced method is based on determining the lexical and syntactic features of the written text in order to identify the author of the document. These features are explored to build a machine learning process. We obtained promising results by relying on PAN@CLEF2014 English literature corpus. The experimental results are comparable to those obtained by the best state of the art methods.
