Style analysis by machine learning reveals that two authors likely shared the writing of QAnon's messages at two different periods in time

In view of the results presented in this contribution, as well as the insights provided by the practice of the OrphAnalytics expert group, the presence of two styles in the QAnoncorpus is clearly established. These two styles most likely correspond to two distinct authors. Since a certain number of authors have been proposed as possible authors of this corpus, an analysis of reference texts would allow to challenge the results obtained in this contribution. The continuation of our work would correspond to that done on Elena Ferrante's corpus. This additional analysis would benefit from algorithms capable of providing results with a higher resolution, as well as from a quantification of the probability of the results obtained.
