Critiques
Fatal Design par Anna Faktorovich
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.A little gruesome for me, but so compelling was the writing I read it all the way through anyway.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.When comparing a single work to the clear-cut oeuvre of a single author, a computational take on stylistic analysis is possible. Factors such as punctuation and sentence length do come into play. See, for example, the cases of identifying the Unabomber from his manifesto, verifying whether a sonnet is by Shakespeare, identifying he author of Primary Colors, and other such projects detailed in Don Foster’s book Author Unknown. However, the premise of this book--that massive numbers of British works were in fact produced by a gang of six ghostwriters--is improbable. Just because a process involves a computer does not automatically mean that its results are valid.

Ling.Lass | 4 autres critiques | Sep 17, 2022 | Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.The Re-Attribution of the British Renaissance Corpus provides a fascinating, modern approach to the attribution of texts through algorithmic analysis of patterns of speech, vocabulary, and punctuation, and uses, rather boldly, as proof of concept, the greater body of English Renaissance era work, including the works traditionally attributed to Shakespeare. The results of these analyses are supplemented by historical evidence, together painting a picture that is rather different than what is usually assumed.
This book is thorough and informative, if at times, a little repetitive and on the dense side. It would have been nice to have had more of the data integrated with the text as charts, but this is a minor gripe, since plenty of times it is, and, in what is a true treat, all of the data is shared via a link to the author’s GitHub repository.
Thank you, Dr. Faktorovich, for such an interesting read!

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.received via Early Reviewer. This is a hefty volume!! A very scholarly, detailed, and narrowly focused study. The author uses computational linguistics to identify signatures of authors (and potentially some editors) of British Renaissance literature - examining 284 different texts across numerous bylines of named, initialed and anonymous authors. Although i find the subject matter very interesting, this is a very scholarly document (more than 800 footnotes) with all of the underlying research and detailed data available on a web site (I did not try to access). There are two major take-aways (and quite a few additional) - 1) that the entire corpus of British Renaissance literature can be traced back to a set of six individual ghostwriters, and 2) the author's use of 27 different tests of computational linguistics as a method of author attribution is far more reliable than previous attributional studies that have focused on rare, unusual, or a limited set of words and phrases. I found some of the charting in the volume hard to follow, but the underlying logic fascinating. There is quite a bit of repetition chapter to chapter, however, overall an absolutely interesting read (for those who have an interest in British Renaissance literature and enjoy the "who wrote Shakespeare?" discussions)… (plus d'informations)
