Abstract

This chapter presents a novel approach to frequent-pattern based Writeprint creation, and addresses two authorship problems: authorship attribution in the usual way (disregarding stylistic variation), and authorship attribution by focusing on stylistic variations. Stylistic variation is the occasional change in the writing features of an individual, with respect to the type of recipient and the topic of a message. The authorship methods proposed in this chapter and in the following chapters are applicable to different types of online messages; however, for the purposes of experimentation, an e-mail corpus has been used in this chapter, to demonstrate the efficacy of said methods.
