EAVAE (Explainable Authorship Variational Autoencoder) is a neural architecture for learning disentangled style and content representations in text. This model separates an author's writing style from semantic content, enabling applications in authorship verification, style transfer, and text generation with controlled stylistic attributes.
The model is trained on diverse multi-author corpora including Reddit, Blog Authorship Corpus, Amazon Reviews, Goodreads, IMDb, and News articles. It is evaluated on several benchmarks:
HRS (HIATUS Reddit Stories)
MUD (Multi-User Detection)
PAN20/PAN21
Amazon Reviews
M4 (AI-generated text detection)
🔬 Model Details
The model achieves state-of-the-art performance by explicitly disentangling style from content through architectural separation-by-design. Disentanglement is enforced through novel discriminators that distinguish whether pairs of style/content representations belong to the same or different authors/content sources while providing natural language explanations for their decisions.
