r134679852 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 My first draft for my IA is due next Saturday, August 15, and I still do not have a specific research question..My teacher suggested Donald Wayne Foster, a professor who has been able to use textual analysis to identify unknown authors. When my teacher suggested this idea, I think, it was because he (my teacher) thought that Donald Foster used a computer statistics analysis thing... Based off what he suggested, I went to the path, thinking that I can maybe find out what math is involved, basically "decoding" this program Donald Foster used.I am currently in the middle of reading one of Donald Foster's book and it turns out that he doesn't have a computer program. He uses electronics to search for possible candidates or to look for certain phrases or words.Can someone help me come up with a Math IA question that revolves around textual analysis and math??

UncleChopChop Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 This would be more in the realm of Computer Science as I imagine it's based on machine learning algorithms. It's not a topic I know much about but there is plenty of linear algebra involved - which falls outside the syllabus and thus could be useful for the use of mathematics criterion.
