Texts like networks: How many words are sufficient to recognize the author?

(The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences) We are more original than we think -- this is what is being suggested by literary text analysis carried out by a new method of stylometry proposed by scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences. The author's individuality can already be seen in connections between no more than a dozen of words in English text. It turns out that in Slavic languages authorship identification requires even fewer words and is more certain.
