• Title: TraSE: Towards Tackling Authorial Style from a Cognitive Science Perspective
• Authors: Ronald Wilson, Avanti Bhandarkar and Damon Woodard
• Abstract summary: Authorship attribution experiments with over 27,000 authors and 1.4 million samples in a cross-domain scenario resulted in 90% attribution accuracy. A qualitative analysis is performed on TraSE using physical human characteristics, like age, to validate its claim on capturing cognitive traits.

• Abstract: Stylistic analysis of text is a key task in research areas ranging from authorship attribution to forensic analysis and personality profiling. The existing approaches for stylistic analysis are plagued by issues like topic influence, lack of discriminability for large number of authors and the requirement for large amounts of diverse data. In this paper, the source of these issues are identified along with the necessity for a cognitive perspective on authorial style in addressing them. A novel feature representation, called Trajectory-based Style Estimation (TraSE), is introduced to support this purpose. Authorship attribution experiments with over 27,000 authors and 1.4 million samples in a cross-domain scenario resulted in 90% attribution accuracy suggesting that the feature representation is immune to such negative influences and an excellent candidate for stylistic analysis. Finally, a qualitative analysis is performed on TraSE using physical human characteristics, like age, to validate its claim on capturing cognitive traits.

  Authorship identification ascertains the authorship of texts whose origins remain undisclosed. Modern authorship identification methods have proven effective in distinguishing authorial styles. The presented work addresses the challenge of enhancing the generalization of stylistic representations in authorship identification.

  sociodemographic prompting is a technique that steers the output of prompt-based models towards answers that humans with specific sociodemographic profiles would give. We show that sociodemographic information affects model predictions and can be beneficial for improving zero-shot learning in subjective NLP tasks.

  Authors writing documents imprint identifying information within their texts: vocabulary, registry, punctuation, misspellings, or even emoji usage. Previous works use hand-crafted features or classification tasks to train their authorship models, leading to poor performance on out-of-domain authors. We propose a contrastively trained model fit to learn textbfauthorship embeddings instead of semantics.

In WI systems, a single model is trained to perform signature verification for all writers from a dissimilarity space generated by the dichotomy transformation. We present a white-box analysis of this approach highlighting how it handles the challenges, the dynamic selection of references through fusion function, and its application for transfer learning.
