Markov Chains in the Task of Author’s Writing Style Profile Construction
Abstract
This paper examines the possibility of using Markov chains when constructing a profile of author’s writing style. Thus, the constructed profile can be then used to analyze other texts and calculate their level of similarity. The extraction of the unique profile of text writing style that is characteristic of a specific human can be a topical task in many spheres of human activity. As an example, the task of detecting authorship for scientific and fiction texts can be mentioned. The paper describes a basic theoretical apparatus used for profile construction, software implementation of the experimental system as well as the experiments made and provides experimental results and their analysis.
