Title: Few-Shot Learning for Text Applications: Exploring Authorship Identification with Small Data
Author(s): Lauren Phillips* and Sarah Reehl and Ana Usenko

Keywords: Few-shot learning; Authorship identification; Natural language processing; Deep learning
Abstract:

The goal of few-shot learning is to generalize a classifier’s performance to new classes given relatively small amounts of data. It has remained a difficult challenge for machine learning algorithms and even more so when it is merged with natural language processing. Authorship identification, in particular, is a challenging problem that generally relies on large quantities of data. In this talk we introduce a dataset for few-shot authorship identification and compare results from state-of-the-art deep learning models and traditional stylometric approaches.
