Homotopy Based Classification for Author Verification Task: Notebook for PAN at CLEF 2015

This paper presents our experience implementing a homotopy-based classification (HBC) system for the ‘PAN 2015 Author Identification’ [20]. Known documents from a specific author and randomly selected impostor documents are used as a dictionary to generate a contested document. Given the contribution of the known documents to the contested document we can verify the authorship of the document. This classification is embedded into the General Impostor Method resulting in an ensemble of the SBC model.
