My previous entries were mostly about the applications of my line of research to text classification, but for me as an individual, the problems that we study in theoretical computer science have more immediate advantages. One is that boredom is…
It happens that we’re asked what impact current research in authorship attribution can come to have on personal privacy. In the short run, I would say “not very much”. Naryanan et al report that in over 20% of the cases,…
A text-classification task appears to interest many is authorship attribution. This problem consists in deciding who among a set of candidate author has written a given text. The underlying assumption is that there are several ways to express the same…
My research is in theoretical computer science with applications in language technology, in particular in text classification. For me, it is a very appealing subfield of mathematics, applied to an area that is interesting in its own right. One of the…
