+ # ContextLab GPT-2 Charles Dickens Stylometry Model
19
+
20
+ ## Overview
21
+
22
+ This model is a GPT-2 language model trained exclusively on **14 books by Charles Dickens** (1812-1870). It was developed for the paper ["A Stylometric Application of Large Language Models"](https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.21958) (Stropkay et al., 2025).
23
+
24
+ The model captures Charles Dickens's unique writing style through intensive training on their corpus. By learning the statistical patterns, vocabulary, syntax, and thematic elements characteristic of Dickens's writing, this model enables:
25
+
26
+ - **Text generation** in the authentic style of Charles Dickens
27
+ - **Authorship attribution** through cross-entropy loss comparison
28
+ - **Stylometric analysis** of literary works from Victorian England
29
+ - **Computational literary studies** exploring Dickens's distinctive voice
30
+
31
+ This model is part of a suite of 8 author-specific models developed to demonstrate that language model perplexity can serve as a robust measure of stylistic similarity.
32
+
33
+ **⚠️ Important:** This model generates **lowercase text only**, as all training data was preprocessed to lowercase. Use lowercase prompts for best results.
34
+
35

46
+
47
+ ### Architecture
48
+
49
+ | Parameter | Value |
50
+ |-----------|-------|
51
+ | Layers | 8 |
52
+ | Embedding dimension | 128 |
53
+ | Attention heads | 8 |
54
+ | Context length | 1024 tokens |
55
+ | Vocabulary size | 50,257 (GPT-2 tokenizer) |
56
+ | Total parameters | ~8.1M |
57
+
58
+ ## Usage
59
+
60
+ ### Basic Text Generation
61
+
62
+ ```python
63
+ from transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, GPT2Tokenizer
64
+ import torch
65
+
66
+ # Load model and tokenizer
67
+ model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("contextlab/gpt2-dickens")
68
+ tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")
69
+ tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token
70
+
71
+ # IMPORTANT: Use lowercase prompts (model trained on lowercase text)
72
+ prompt = "it was the best of times"
73
+ inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
74
+
75
+ # Generate text
76
+ with torch.no_grad():
77
+ outputs = model.generate(
78
+ **inputs,
79
+ max_length=200,
80
+ do_sample=True,
81
+ temperature=0.8,
82
+ top_p=0.9,
83
+ pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
84
+ )
85
+
86
+ generated_text = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
87
+ print(generated_text)
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ **Output:** Generates text in Charles Dickens's distinctive style (all lowercase).
91
+
92
+ ### Stylometric Analysis
93
+
94
+ Compare cross-entropy loss across multiple author models to determine authorship:
95
+
96
+ ```python
97
+ from transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, GPT2Tokenizer
98
+ import torch
99
+
100
+ # Load models for different authors
101
+ authors = ['austen', 'dickens', 'twain'] # Example subset
102
+ models = {
103
+ author: GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained(f"contextlab/gpt2-{author}")
104
+ for author in authors
105
+ }
106
+
107
+ tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")
108
+
109
+ # Test passage (lowercase)
110
+ test_text = "your test passage here in lowercase"
111
+ inputs = tokenizer(test_text, return_tensors="pt")
112
+
113
+ # Compute loss for each model
114
+ for author, model in models.items():
115
+ model.eval()
116
+ with torch.no_grad():
117
+ outputs = model(**inputs, labels=inputs['input_ids'])
118
+ loss = outputs.loss.item()
119
+ print(f"{author}: {loss:.4f}")
120
+
121
+ # Lower loss indicates more similar style (likely author)
122
+ ```
123
+
124
+ ## Training Procedure
125
+
126
+ ### Dataset
127
+
128
+ The model was trained on the complete works of Charles Dickens sourced from [Project Gutenberg](https://www.gutenberg.org/). The text was preprocessed to:
129
+ - Remove Project Gutenberg headers and footers
130
+ - Convert all text to lowercase
131
+ - Remove chapter headings and non-narrative text
132
+ - Preserve punctuation and structure
133
+
134
+ See the [Dickens corpus dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/contextlab/dickens-corpus) for details.
135
+
136
+ ### Hyperparameters
137
+
138
+ | Parameter | Value |
139
+ |-----------|-------|
140
+ | Context length | 1,024 tokens |
141
+ | Batch size | 16 |
142
+ | Learning rate | 5×10⁻⁵ |
143
+ | Optimizer | AdamW |
144
+ | Training tokens | 4,551,374 |
145
+ | Epochs | 50,000 |
146
+ | Final loss | 1.3077 |
147
+
148
+ ### Training Method
149
+
150
+ The model was initialized with a compact GPT-2 architecture (8 layers, 128-dimensional embeddings) and trained exclusively on Charles Dickens's works until reaching a training loss of approximately 1.3077. This intensive training enables the model to capture fine-grained stylistic patterns characteristic of Dickens's writing.
151
+
152
+ See the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/ContextLab/llm-stylometry) for complete training code and methodology.
153
+
154
+ ## Intended Use
155
+
156
+ ### Primary Uses
157
+ - **Research:** Stylometric analysis, authorship attribution studies
158
+ - **Education:** Demonstrations of computational stylometry
159
+ - **Creative:** Generate text in Charles Dickens's style
160
+ - **Analysis:** Compare writing styles across historical periods
161
+
162
+ ### Out-of-Scope Uses
163
+ This model is not intended for:
164
+ - Factual information retrieval
165
+ - Modern language generation
166
+ - Tasks requiring uppercase text
167
+ - Commercial publication without attribution
168
+
169
+ ## Limitations
170
+
171
+ - **Lowercase only:** All generated text is lowercase (due to preprocessing)
172
+ - **Historical language:** Reflects Victorian England vocabulary and grammar
173
+ - **Training data bias:** Limited to Charles Dickens's published works
174
+ - **Small model:** Compact architecture prioritizes training speed over generation quality
175
+ - **No factual grounding:** Generates stylistically similar text, not historically accurate content
176
+
177
+ ## Evaluation
178
+
179
+ This model achieved perfect accuracy (100%) in distinguishing Charles Dickens's works from seven other classic authors in cross-entropy loss comparisons. See the paper for detailed evaluation results.
