| Challenge: | Temporal style analysis is not widely taken into account, says aaron daelemans . he says it is important to consider the possibility of an author's style frequently changing over time . daelemens: synchronic style analysis requires accurate time-stamped data . |
| Approach: | They propose a resource for diachronic style analysis in particular the analysis of literary authors over time. |
| Outcome: | The proposed resource can be used to analyze literary authors over time. |
