L'A. intervient a l'occasion de la reception du prix Roberto Busa 2001 qui lui est decerne pour sa contribution dans le domaine de l'informatique et des sciences humaines. Il fait un bilan de son parcours et presente une nouvelle methode d'identification de l'auteur d'un texte. Son interet pour ce domaine de recherche a debute dans les annees 1970, avec l'analyse d'un texte de Jane Austen. Il nous presente aujourd'hui une nouvelle approche basee sur une liste hierarchique des frequences des mots communs a l'ensemble des textes. Il decrit alors les procedures et les resultats de cette methode, en donne quelques developpements possibles pour l'avenir et fait le point sur l'etat de l'art dans ce domaine de la recherche assistee par ordinateur
