Can punctuation marks be used as writer invariants? rough set-based approach to authorship attribution
Urszula Stańczyk, Krzysztof A. Cyran · 2008
Writer invariant is a stylometric notion corresponding to such unique characteristic that describes the writing style of a person, allowing for distinguishing texts authored by this person from all others and providing means for either discounting or confirming this person as the author of a text of unknown origin. It can be obtained in a variety of techniques usually belonging with either statistical analysis or machine learning methodologies and in this latter category there is included classical rough set theory and its elements. In the paper there is presented rough set-based approach to the problem of authorship attribution that falls within the scope of automated text categorisation.
