Huh. I probably should have read this earlier.

I have a toy tool for facilitating style imitation and combating adversarial authorship analysis: https://github.com/bhickey/doppelsprecher

Given two corpora, it generates two smoothed ngram models and produces estimates of per-word entropy ratios. If an author can see the highly entropy portions of a text, they'll have the opportunity to change it.

Pardon the license, it'll change to something sane shortly.


so, if you want to hide who you are, choose an author and imitate their style. or rather: he needed to hide. he hid behind hemmingway. it was crude. but it worked.
