TACTiCS

Tool for Analyzing and Categorizing Texts using Characteristics of Style
Kim Luyckx & Walter Daelemans

[Introduction]

TACTiCS can be used for stylistic analysis of a text and for classifying the author or characteristics of the author (e.g. gender, age, personality) of a text - a field commonly referred to as Stylometry. The modular system takes an automatic text categorization approach that labels documents according to a set of predefined categories. This methodology has been tested in previous studies on authorship attribution and verification (see publications).
