Hybrid Method for Multilingual Automatic Grouping of Writing Styles

Abstract

In this paper, we tackle the task of automatic grouping of writing styles, also called author clustering. This task deals with identifying authorship links and single-authored groups of documents [3]. This task is very important for other domains like plagiarism detection and author diarization. In this paper, we present a hybrid method that combines lexical and syntactic features for multilingual automatic grouping of writing style. The proposed method has been evaluated on two publicly available corpora. The obtained results outperform the ones obtained by the best state-of-the-art methods.
