An emphasis on stylometry has the potential for advancing digital humanities methods in creative and exciting ways. For example, some of the established methods in stylometry were created for the detection of authenticity/authorship, peculiar linguistic or thematic patterns employed by an author, tropes meant to trigger emotions or expectations, and specific geographical and/or regional influences. Beyond methodological advances, applications created based on these methods can improve interaction, retrieval, interpretation, and analysis of large and complex textual corpora. The goal of the panel is to spur vigorous discussions on intersecting areas, motivate the development of new computational methods with applications in digital humanities, and also identify potential pedagogical topics that could enhance courses and content taught in iSchool degree programs.
