I'm extremely excited to announce the pre-print of our new paper: "Authorship Verification based on the Likelihood Ratio of Grammar Models" t.co/ReZmvWuW0K
with Oren Halvani, Lukas Graner, Valerio Gherardi, and Shunichi Ishihara.
Authorship Verification based on the Likelihood Ratio of Grammar Models
Authorship Verification (AV) is the process of analyzing a set of documents to determine whether they were written by a specific author. This problem often arises in forensic scenarios, e.g., in...

TLDR (5/5):

As the researchers note, linguistic analysis isn’t just academic — it can expose the cracks where justice itself is lost.
