提出两种新文风度量法,提升作者归属的可解释性与准确性。

Rank-Turbulence Delta and Interpretable Approaches to Stylometric Delta Metrics

  • 用概率分布距离替代传统向量距离,改进经典Delta方法。
  • 在四语种文学语料上验证,性能媲美或超越现有方法。
  • 支持逐词分解,便于人工校验结果,适合文本分析研究者。

本文提出两种新的作者归属度量方法——秩湍流差值(Rank-Turbulence Delta)与詹森-香农差值(Jensen-Shannon Delta),通过引入针对概率分布设计的距离函数,对布罗尔斯经典Delta进行推广。首先阐述理论基础,对比中心化与非中心化z-score处理词频向量,并将非中心化向量重构为概率分布。在此基础上,构建词粒度分解机制,使每个Delta距离具有数值可解释性,支持细读与结果验证。方法在英、德、法、俄四种语言的四个文学语料库上评估,其中英、德、法语数据来自古腾堡计划,俄语数据为涵盖18至21世纪共89位作者639部作品的SOCIOLIT语料库。实验表明,秩湍流差值达到与余弦差值相当的归属准确率;詹森-香农差值始终匹配或超越经典布罗尔斯Δ。最后,在扩展的SOCIOLIT语料库上重新评估多个经典算法,提供了在显著时间与风格变化下模型鲁棒性的现实估计。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This article introduces two new measures for authorship attribution - Rank-Turbulence Delta and Jensen-Shannon Delta - which generalise Burrows's classical Delta by applying distance functions designed for probabilistic distributions. We first set out the theoretical basis of the measures, contrasting centred and uncentred z-scoring of word-frequency vectors and re-casting the uncentred vectors as probability distributions. Building on this representation, we develop a token-level decomposition that renders every Delta distance numerically interpretable, thereby facilitating close reading and the validation of results. The effectiveness of the methods is assessed on four literary corpora in English, German, French and Russian. The English, German and French datasets are compiled from Project Gutenberg, whereas the Russian benchmark is the SOCIOLIT corpus containing 639 works by 89 authors spanning the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Rank-Turbulence Delta attains attribution accuracy comparable with Cosine Delta; Jensen-Shannon Delta consistently matches or exceeds the performance of canonical Burrows's Delta. Finally, several established attribution algorithms are re-evaluated on the extended SOCIOLIT corpus, providing a realistic estimate of their robustness under pronounced temporal and stylistic variation.
