Abstract

Network managers may be able to assess the quality and quantity of various Usenet messages by evaluating stylometric statistics derived from newsgroups. Through the use of Kohonen self-organising maps, one can actually gauge various text attributes, including sentence length, number of words and readability. By taking note of these details, computer-mediated communication operators may create one- or two-dimensional profiles.
