Glance: Who Wrote This?
An interactive poetry-attribution experiment that guesses a poet from the first 40 words or 12 lines and opens its scoring process for inspection.
- For
- Readers testing poet attribution on public-domain verse
- Worth noticing
- Its locked evaluation uses 240 passages—10 per poet—with zero line overlap against reference profiles or weight-fitting passages.
Field notes
Users can paste a poem without its title or author; Glance reads the first 40 words while preserving line breaks, and a supplied author is used only afterward for comparison. The page also offers a replay of all 240 benchmark passages and a numerical breakdown of how the eight weighted judges shifted a prediction. The reported 40-word result uses one selected Project Gutenberg edition per poet, not each poet’s complete body of work; the page distinguishes its locked test fold from the folds used to build profiles and fit weights.
