I thoroughly enjoyed presenting my data-driven research on late Ottoman #Arabic #Periodicals at #DigHis23. The paper introduces stylometric authorship attribution for answering the question whether editors/publishers of magazines could or should be considered the authors of the bulk of anonymous texts in their periodicals. The method relies on collaborative work with Maxim Romanov on establishing parameters for reliable authorship attribution in Arabic for the `stylo()` package in #R (#Rstats).

I’m writing an article that expands my microblog entry on stylometric fingerprinting to give more comprehensive advice. I am partially walking back on my recommendation not to use machine translation and adding information about reading levels, among other things. Would anybody familiar with #stylometry, or with a #linguistics background experienced with close-reading, be up for reviewing a rough draft next week?

I’d also be interested in how people may describe my own stylometric fingerprint (signature phrases, grammar quirks, etc), to use as an example.

Boosts appreciated.

Following the recent SCOTUS ruling, many have been trying to publish resources to help people find reproductive healthcare. They often wish to do this anonymously, to avoid doxxing. There’s no shortage of guides on how to stay anonymous online.
