Authorship Identification with Text Mining and Machine Learning
In this liveProject, you’ll step into the boots of an investigator trying to find the anonymous author of a seriously defamatory blog post. You’ve narrowed down your list of suspects, acquired a dataset of writing samples, and now plan to find the culprit using a custom machine learning project. Your challenge is to build an authorship analysis model that will match a sample to the defamatory blogpost and reveal the guilty party. To do this, you’ll need to extract data from a corpus of documents, build a model that can learn authorship style, scale the model to handle hundreds of suspects, and finally develop a user-friendly program that will allow non-technical colleagues to make use of your findings.
