Heres the write up from 2021 on the stylometric study on the authorship of 'On Liberty'.

TLDR (5/5):

As the researchers note, linguistic analysis isn’t just academic — it can expose the cracks where justice itself is lost.

TLDR (4/5):

Before mandatory audio recordings were introduced in 1995, “verballing” — fabricating or distorting confessions — was a known risk.

TLDR (3/5):

In other words, the so-called “record of interview” that convicted Jamieson couldn’t realistically have captured even the gist of a real conversation.

TLDR (1/5):

To test the detectives’ story, researchers ran an experiment: fast typists — including a live-captioning expert — were asked to type a three-minute police interview in real time, without pausing or replaying.

I seem to be on an #authorshipanalysis reading spree at the moment.

This is fascinating research on George Edalji. I was honoured to be asked by its author to undertake authorship analysis of several of the questioned letters/authors and compare them to Edalji's style. My report is included in the book.

We Solve Murders by Richard Osman demonstrates the impact of ChatGPT on forensic linguistics ChatGPT is posing new puzzles for the real teams of forensic linguists attempting to solve crimes.

The latest book by Richard Osman explores the impact #ChatGPT can have on #AuthorshipAnalysis.

This piece from Robert Davies & Dr Emily Chiang explains this branch of #ForensicLinguistics & explores how #AI can muddy the water.

The idiolectal information in long character n-grams: An experiment using paraphrasing Long character n-grams (n = 7-9) have been used successfully with the n-gram tracing algorithm for authorship analysis (Grieve et al. 2019) and their success is consistent with predictions of cognitiv...

Authorship Verification based on the Likelihood Ratio of Grammar Models Authorship Verification (AV) is the process of analyzing a set of documents to determine whether they were written by a specific author. This problem often arises in forensic scenarios, e.g., in...

Interested in the use of likelihood ratio using grammar models to analyse authorship? This is an interesting paper.
