| ### Dataset Summary | |
| The Blog Authorship Corpus consists of the collected posts of 19,320 bloggers gathered from blogger.com in August 2004. The corpus incorporates a total of 681,288 posts and over 140 million words - or approximately 35 posts and 7250 words per person. | |
| Each blog is presented as a separate file, the name of which indicates a blogger id# and the blogger’s self-provided gender, age, industry and astrological sign. (All are labeled for gender and age but for many, industry and/or sign is marked as unknown.) | |
| All bloggers included in the corpus fall into one of three age groups: | |
| - 8240 "10s" blogs (ages 13-17), | |
| - 8086 "20s" blogs (ages 23-27), | |
| - 2994 "30s" blogs (ages 33-47). | |
| For each age group there are an equal number of male and female bloggers. | |
| Each blog in the corpus includes at least 200 occurrences of common English words. All formatting has been stripped with two exceptions. Individual posts within a single blogger are separated by the date of the following post and links within a post are denoted by the label urllink. | |
| The corpus may be freely used for non-commercial research purposes. | |
