text authorship identification, compression algorithms, normalized compression distance, n-grams, natural frequency zoned word distributionAbstract
The aim of this paper is to review some methods for text authorship attribution and to discuss the development of a software library with tools for automatic authorship attribution. The presentation is focused on an analysis of two groups of tools oriented to: (1) methods for extraction of features and (2) methods for computing the distance between character strings based on data compression algorithms.References
