Neural Embeddings for Idiolect Identification

The term idiolect refers to the unique and distinctive use of language of an individual and it is the theoretical foundation of Authorship Attribution. In this paper we are focusing on learning neural distributed representations (embeddings) of social media users that reflect their writing style. These representations can be considered as stylistic fingerprints of the authors. We are exploring the performance of the two main flavours of distributed representations, namely embeddings produced by Neural Probabilistic Language models and more specifically word2vec.
