Shachar Seidman · CLEF (Working Notes) · 2013
This paper describes the evaluation of the GenIM method, which par- ticipated in the PAN' 13 authorship identification competition. The approach is based on comparing the similarity between the given documents and a number of external (impostor) documents, so that documents can be classified as having been written by the same author, if they are shown to be more similar to each other than to the impostors, in a number of trials. The method showed competi- tive results, achieving the overall 1 st ranking in the competition.
