BERT for Authorship Verification

Fine-tuned BERT model for determining if two texts were written by the same author.

Model Details

• Base Model: sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
• Training Data: 50K text pairs from swan07/authorship-verification dataset
• Task: Authorship verification (binary classification)
• Performance: 73.9% accuracy, 0.821 AUC

Usage

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
import numpy as np

# Load model
model = SentenceTransformer('swan07/bert-authorship-verification')

# Encode texts
text1 = "Your first text here"
text2 = "Your second text here"

emb1 = model.encode(text1)
emb2 = model.encode(text2)

# Calculate cosine similarity
similarity = np.dot(emb1, emb2) / (np.linalg.norm(emb1) * np.linalg.norm(emb2))

# Predict
prediction = "Same Author" if similarity >= 0.5 else "Different Authors"
print(f"Prediction: {prediction}")
print(f"Similarity: {similarity:.3f}")

Training

Trained on 50K pairs from the swan07/authorship-verification dataset using:

• Learning rate: 2e-5
• Batch size: 16
• Epochs: 4
• Loss: CosineSimilarityLoss

Dataset

swan07/authorship-verification - 325K text pairs from 12 sources including PAN competitions (2011-2020).
