From Genes to Tokens: a GWAS-inspired Approach for Interpretable Stylometric Analysis

Computer Science > Computation and Language [Submitted on 8 Jun 2026] Title:From Genes to Tokens: a GWAS-inspired Approach for Interpretable Stylometric Analysis View PDFAbstract:This short paper introduces a stylometric interpretation method inspired by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Each "gene" token's association with "phenotype" authorship is tested using logistic regression with multiple-comparison correction. Applied to English, German, and Russian corpora, the method detects statistically significant lexical markers distinctive of individual authors. References & Citations Loading...
