• Title: Quasi Error-free Text Classification and Authorship Recognition in a large Corpus of English Literature based on a Novel Feature Set
• Authors: Arthur M. Jacobs and Annette Kinder
• Abstract summary: We show that in the entire GLEC quasi error-free text classification and authorship recognition is possible with a method using the same set of five style and five content features. Our data pave the way for many future computational and empirical studies of literature or experiments in reading psychology.

• Abstract: The Gutenberg Literary English Corpus (GLEC) provides a rich source of textual data for research in digital humanities, computational linguistics or neurocognitive poetics. However, so far only a small subcorpus, the Gutenberg English Poetry Corpus, has been submitted to quantitative text analyses providing predictions for scientific studies of literature. Here we show that in the entire GLEC quasi error-free text classification and authorship recognition is possible with a method using the same set of five style and five content features, computed via style and sentiment analysis, in both tasks. Our results identify two standard and two novel features (i.e., type-token ratio, frequency, sonority score, surprise) as most diagnostic in these tasks. By providing a simple tool applicable to both short poems and long novels generating quantitative predictions about features that co-determe the cognitive and affective processing of specific text categories or authors, our data pave the way for many future computational and empirical studies of literature or experiments in reading psychology.

  We define two tasks: character description, which generates a brief factual profile, and character analysis, which offers an in-depth interpretation. We introduce the BookWorm dataset, pairing books from the Gutenberg Project with human-written descriptions and analyses. Our findings show that retrieval-based approaches outperform hierarchical ones in both tasks.

  Research focuses on text generation based on the ideology and style of a specific author, and text generation on a topic that was not written by the same author in the past. Bi-LSTM model is used to make predictions at the character level, during the training corpus of a specific author is used along with the ground truth corpus. A pre-trained model is used to identify the sentences of ground truth having contradiction with the author's corpus to make our language model inclined.

  Short texts published on Twitter have earned significant attention as a rich source of information. Their inherent characteristics, such as the informal, and noisy linguistic style, remain challenging to many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. This study fulfils an assessment of existing language models in distinguishing the sentiment expressed in tweets by using a rich collection of 22 datasets.

• Intrinsic Probing through Dimension Selection [69.52439198455438]
  Most modern NLP systems make use of pre-trained contextual representations that attain astonishingly high performance on a variety of tasks. Such high performance should not be possible unless some form of linguistic structure inheres in these representations, and a wealth of research has sprung up on probing for it. In this paper, we draw a distinction between intrinsic probing, which examines how linguistic information is structured within a representation, and the extrinsic probing popular in prior work, which only argues for the presence of such information by showing that it can be successfully extracted.
