Discrimination of authorship using visualization

Visualization techniques help organize the vast amount of data generated in computational studies of literary style by showing two-dimensional representations of the style of the authors of The Federalist Papers.

Abstract

Visualization techniques help organize the vast amount of data generated in computational studies of literary style. These techniques are demonstrated by showing two-dimensional representations of the style of the authors of The Federalist Papers. The techniques are used to determine the authorship of the 12 unattributed papers. The authorship assigned to these papers is consistent with that found in other studies.
