Who Wrote 'Henry VIII'? This ML Algorithm Has Cast A Shadow On Shakespeare's Contribution
It is a breakthrough to be able to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to find, identify and confirm the author of a text, and analyse the style of writing from a text collection. In the literary sector, the question of authorship has always been the main concern. A perfect case in point is the analysis of William Shakespeare and John Fletcher's work Henry VIII. Czech researcher Petr Plechac recently released a paper titled "Relative contributions of Shakespeare and Fletcher in Henry VIII", confirming scholar James Spedding's longstanding theory of having more than one formal author for Shakespeare's Henry VIII. Plechac developed a machine learning system that determined which portions of the historical play were written by which author.
