A stylistic detector for writing. Basically software that can answer the question of "was person X entirely responsible for a particular piece of writing". To be applied in forensics, plagiarism detection, and as an intelligent assistant to writers to ensure they maintain a consistent tone in their writings.
- unimpressive 11y agoSee I wanted to make the opposite of this, software that would obfuscate your writing style so that forensic analysis like that wouldn't work. It would be able to analyze a corpus and give you suggestions on how to sound more like say Leibniz or Hemmingway.
- nstart 11y agothat's actually a really impressive idea (irony on username intended). Would be interesting to run an idea like that on the entire Harry Potter text and see what it would be like to change the tone to George R R Martin's writing style. Interestingly enough, you'd have to first build something that can identify style right? So it would at least have to sit on top of a stylistic identifier? Or is there a better way around this? Side note. I built a prototype of the stylistic identifier as a final year project. Never had time to pursue it afterwards.
