Stylometric classification of different translations of the same text into the same language
Michael A. Covington, Iris Potter, Tony Snodgrass · Digital Scholarship in the Humanities · 2014
Quantitative stylometry of ten translations of the same Bible passage into English, followed by Ward clustering, produces a dendrogram that reflects the well-known history and intent of the translations. We conclude that quantitative stylometry combined with clustering is a useful tool for reconstructing literary history.
