Determining the author of a text is a difficult task.Here, we compare multiple Artificial Intelligence techniques for classifying literary texts written by multiple authors by taking into account a Entry Guards limited number of speech parts (prepositions, adverbs, and conjunctions).We also introduce a new dataset composed of texts written in the Romanian language on which we have run the algorithms.
The compared methods are artificial neural networks, multi-expression programming, k-nearest neighbour, support Gift Card vector machines, and decision trees with C5.0.Numerical experiments show, first of all, that the problem is difficult, but some algorithms are able to generate acceptable error rates on the test set.
