Authorship Attribution Using the Chaos Game Representation
Daniel Lichtblau, Catalin Stoean
The Chaos Game Representation, a method for creating images from nucleotide sequences, is modified to make images from chunks of text documents. Machine learning methods are then applied to train classifiers based on authorship. Experiments are conducted on several benchmark data sets in English, including the widely used Federalist Papers, and one in Portuguese. Validation results for the trained classifiers are competitive with the best methods in prior literature. The methodology is also successfully applied for text categorization with encouraging results. One classifier method is moreover seen to hold promise for the task of digital fingerprinting.
