Author identification is one of the application areas of text mining. It deals with the automatic prediction of the potential author of an electronic text among predefined author candidates by using author specific writing styles. In this study, we conducted an experiment for the identification of the author of a Turkish language text by using classical machine learning methods including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Gaussian Naive Bayes (GaussianNB), Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP), Logistic Regression (LR), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and ensemble learning methods including Extremely Randomized Trees (ExtraTrees), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). The proposed method was applied on three different sizes of author groups including 10, 15 and 20 authors obtained from a new dataset of newspaper articles. Term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors were created by using 1-gram and 2-gram word tokens. Our results show that the most successful method is the SGD with a classification performance accuracy of 0.976% by using word unigrams and most successful method is the LR with a classification performance accuracy of 0.935% by using word bigrams.
