Stylometry in Computer-Assisted Translation: Experiments on the Babylonian Talmud

The purpose of this research is to experiment the application of stylometric techniques in the area of Computer-Assisted Translation to reduce the revision effort in the context of a collaborative, large scale translation project. The obtained results show a correlation between the editing extent and the compliance to some specific linguistic features, proving that supporting translators in writing translations following a desired style can actually reduce the number of following necessary interventions (and, consequently, save time) by revisors, editors and curators.
