Abstract

This paper describes an investigation of authorship genderattribution mining from e-mail text documents. We usedan extended set of predominantly topic content-free e-maildocument features such as style markers, structural characteristicsand gender-preferential language features togetherwith a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm. Experimentsusing a corpus of e-mail documents generated by alarge number of authors of both genders gave promising resultsfor author gender categorisation.
