Author Identification is the process of identifying a piece of text to ascertain if it has an inherent writing style or pattern based on a certain author. Almost all literary books can be accredited to a certain author since it has been signed. However, there also exist a plethora of unfinished books or manuscripts that could be attributed to a range of possible authors. For example, William Shakespeare has written many plays that have not been signed by him. In order to assess the importance of such texts that do not bear the authors signature, it could be vital to know who was the writer. I plan to solve this dilemma using the characteristics of finite state automata coupled with the ALERGIA algorithm. I would also like to thank my committee members Dr. Tseng and Mr. Amit Sant for their support and patience. I also want to thank you for the being part of this exciting journey. I want to thank our department for providing us with the necessary software required in our project. I'm also thankful to the library for providing necessary books and materials required to learn different concepts for our project. A special thanks to my family. Words cannot express how grateful I am to my mother, father and sister for all the sacrifices you have made for me. Your prayers and blessings have helped me sustain this far. At the end, I would like to express appreciation to my incredible friends Onkar, Akanksha and Mrinmai who always stood by me whenever I needed them.
