# Modified Victorian Era Authorship Attribution Dataset |
|
|
|
## About |
|
|
|
This data set is a modified version of the one that can be found [here](https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Victorian+Era+Authorship+Attribution). |
|
|
|
The difference being that the training dataset was split into two parts: 80% training, 20% testing with labels. |
|
Splitting was done with a random stratified sample approach. |
|
This is different than the source dataset which did not have any labels for the testing data. |
|
|
|
Additionally, all text has been converted to UTF-8 format and any errors were ignored. |
|
|
|
The original testing data is not included with this release. |
