• Title: Same or Different? Diff-Vectors for Authorship Analysis
• Authors: Silvia Corbara and Alejandro Moreo and Fabrizio Sebastiani
• Abstract summary: In classic'' authorship analysis a feature vector represents a document, the value of a feature represents (an increasing function of) the relative frequency of the feature in the document, and the class label represents the author of the document. Our experiments tackle same-author verification, authorship verification, and closed-set authorship attribution; while DVs are naturally geared for solving the 1st, we also provide two novel methods for solving the 2nd and 3rd.

• Abstract: We investigate the effects on authorship identification tasks of a fundamental shift in how to conceive the vectorial representations of documents that are given as input to a supervised learner. In ``classic'' authorship analysis a feature vector represents a document, the value of a feature represents (an increasing function of) the relative frequency of the feature in the document, and the class label represents the author of the document. We instead investigate the situation in which a feature vector represents an unordered pair of documents, the value of a feature represents the absolute difference in the relative frequencies (or increasing functions thereof) of the feature in the two documents, and the class label indicates whether the two documents are from the same author or not. This latter (learner-independent) type of representation has been occasionally used before, but has never been studied systematically. We argue that it is advantageous, and that in some cases (e.g., authorship verification) it provides a much larger quantity of information to the training process than the standard representation. The experiments that we carry out on several publicly available datasets (among which one that we here make available for the first time) show that feature vectors representing pairs of documents (that we here call Diff-Vectors) bring about systematic improvements in the effectiveness of authorship identification tasks, and especially so when training data are scarce (as it is often the case in real-life authorship identification scenarios). Our experiments tackle same-author verification, authorship verification, and closed-set authorship attribution; while DVs are naturally geared for solving the 1st, we also provide two novel methods for solving the 2nd and 3rd that use a solver for the 1st as a building block.

  We propose two complementary methods for contextualized document embeddings. First, an alternative contrastive learning objective that explicitly incorporates the document neighbors into the intra-batch contextual loss. Second, a new contextual architecture that explicitly encodes neighbor document information into the encoded representation.

  We show that the retriever-reader suffers from performance deterioration when it is trained on labeled data from one domain and used in another domain. We propose an adversarial algorithm to make the retriever component robust against distribution shift. We then construct eight fact checking scenarios from these datasets, and compare our model to a set of strong baseline models.

• PART: Pre-trained Authorship Representation Transformer [64.78260098263489]
  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.

  We address the impact of using a single annotator vs two annotators, in order to measure whether multiple annotators are required. Once we evaluate the performance loss when using a single annotator, we apply different methods to sample the training data for second annotation. We use held-out double-annotated data to build two scenarios with different types of rankings: similarity-based and confidence based. We evaluate both approaches on: (i) their ability to identify training instances that are erroneous, and (ii) on Mutation NER performance for state-of-the-art
