Style Can be Formally Defined in a Style Guide That Authors & Translators are Requested to Adhere to

(But it Doesn’t Have to Be)

Style is a Consistency of Voice Across Multiple Documents

Style Tells us Something About the Authors

Style Reflects Patterns of Conscious Grammatical and lexical Choices

Style caters to the Audience’s needs if you get it right

For the Purposes of StyleScorer, the Documents Define the Style, Rather than the Style Defining the Documents – let

the data decide

• A Language-Agnostic Tool for Scoring New Documents Against the Style of Established Documents

• Score Determined by Weighted Linear Combination of Multiple Components

• Average Perplexity

• Document Dissimilarity

• One-Class Support Vector Machine Classifier

• Neural Network Classifier

What is StyleScorer?

How Does StyleScorer Help?

• We Take Two or More Client Documents (TMs, Word Docs, Plain Text, etc.) & Feed Them Into StyleScorer

• Works Best With a Total of 10k or More Segments/Sentences

• We Then Take One or More New Documents & Ask StyleScorer to Rate Them

• Results File is Tab-Delimited With Test Filename & Score Per Line

• Scores are Analog 0-4, With Higher Scores Denoting Better Style Match
