We discuss our implementation of the level 1 protocol , which assumes no security infrastructure. The pr...

In this paper we report an investigation into the learning of authorship identification or categorisation for the case of e-mail documents. We use various e-mail document features such as structural characteristics and linguistic evidence together with the Support Vector Machine as the learning algorithm. Experiments on a number of e-mail documents give promising results with some e-mail docume...
