Abstract

Authorship attribution is perceived as a task of the paramount importance within stylometric analysis of texts. It encompasses author characterisation and comparison, and by observation and recognition of patterns in individual stylistic traits enables confirmation or rejection of authorship claims. Stylometry requires reliable textual descriptors and knowledge about their relevance for the case under study. One of the possible ways to evaluate this relevance is to employ a feature selection and reduction algorithm in the wrapper model. The paper presents research on such procedure applied to artificial neural networks used to categorise literary texts with respect to their authors, with importance of attributes discovered through sequential backward search.
