Leveraging Fuzzy Fingerprints from Large Language Models for Authorship Attribution
Abstract
Author Attribution has various practical applications such as identifying plagiarism or assigning authorship in historical texts, and plays a crucial role in forensic linguistics. Recent advances have attempted to employ deep learning models for author attribution, resulting in more robust models when compared to previous approaches. In this paper, we introduce a new method to the Author Attribution task and achieve state-of-the-art results in two different datasets. We employ a recent technique that combines Fuzzy Fingerprints with Large Language Models and show that it is possible to obtain unique fingerprints for each author from the datasets. One key feature of this approach is that it allows for a substantial reduction in the size of the output layers of these language models. In addition, we explore the impact of the fingerprint size on the performance of the model and provide illustrative examples of the fingerprints.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
