Three studies investigated how subliminally primed thoughts of an agent prior to action can aVect ascriptions of authorship for that action. Participants competed against a computer program to remove words from a computer screen. Participants reported greater feelings of authorship when primed with Wrst person singular pronouns, and lower feelings of authorship when primed with “computer.” We a...

Some users abuse the anonymity and disrupt communications in a community site. Authorship identification based on analyzing stylistic features of messages is effective in detecting these inadequate users. However, in this method, the scope of target users was often limited because the criteria for selecting learning examples were strict. To relax the criteria and extend the scope of target user...

The task of authorship verification consists in detecting whether two texts have been written by the same person. This paper describes CLG Authorship Analytics software, which implements several individual methods as well a stacked generalization system for verification. approach relies primarily on ensemble learning methods, i.e. repeatedly sampling data order to capture invariant stylistic pa...

Authorship verification is wildly discussed topic at these days. In the authorship verification problem, we are given examples of the writing of an author and are asked to determine if given texts were or were not written by this author. In this paper we present an algorithm using syntactic analysis system SET for verifying authorship of the documents. We propose three variants of two-class mac...

Identifying writing style shifts and variations are fundamental capabilities when addressing authorship related tasks. In this work we examine a simplified approach for unsupervised authorship and plagiarism detection which is based on binary bag of words representation. We evaluate our approach using PAN-2012 Authorship Attribution challenge data, which includes both open/closed class authorsh...

An analysis of our commonsense concept of freedom yields two “minimal criteria”: (1) Autonomy distinguishes freedom from compulsion; (2) Authorship distinguishes freedom from chance. Translating freedom into “self-determination” can account for both criteria. Self-determination is understood as determination by “personal-preferences” which are constitutive for a person. Freedom and determinism ...

This paper gives an overview of the evaluation methodology applied to authorship identification solutions as part of PAN 2011. The two variations of authorship identification that were explored were authorship attribution, determining which of a known set of authors wrote a text, and authorship verification, determining if a specific authors did or did not write a text. We summarize the methods...

Properly assigning authorship of academic papers is often an ethical challenge. Through a hypothetical case study, the authors examine some of the potential ethical issues involved in determining who should and should not be listed as an author: the problems of honorary authorship, coerced authorship, and ghost authorship, as well as the question of how to order authors. Guidelines for avoiding...

Misuse of anonymous online communication for illegal purposes has become a major concern [2,12]. In this paper, we present a framework named ART (Authorship Recognition Tool), that is designed to minimize manual procedures and maximize the efficiency of authorship identification based on the content of Internet electronic documents. The framework covers the phases of document retrieval and data...
