A Survey on Authorship Profiling Techniques

Authorship analysis is a text analysis technique that is visualized mainly in three different techniques namely Authorship Profiling, Authorship Identification and Plagiarism Detection. In this paper a brief survey on the recent developments in the area of author profiling approaches were presented. Authorship Profiling is to ascertain various authors characteristics like age, gender, native country, native language, degree of education and personality traits by analyzing their writing styles. In recent times, Author Profiling is popular in the fields of forensic analysis, security and marketing. Based on the popularity of the Authorship Profiling problem, multiple solutions were proposed by various researchers across the globe. Several researchers used different types of features to identify the writing style characteristics of authors. The main focus of this survey is to predict the demographic features of authors such as gender, age and personality traits based on the text corpus written by
