Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaciej Eder is a quantitative linguist and literary scholar with 13 years of experience blending computational methods and historical philology, currently a Visiting Professor in Digital Humanities at the University of Tartu and Professor at the Institute of Polish Language, Polish Academy of Sciences. He co-founded the Computational Stylistics Group and is a leading practitioner of stylometry, applying statistical analysis to authorship attribution, genre recognition, and diachronic stylistic change. His work bridges deep knowledge of early modern Polish and Latin texts with rigorous methodological research—one such study earned the Fortier Prize and informed the attribution of the 12th-century Chronicle by Gallus Anonymous. Eder’s career combines sustained academic leadership (former director at the Institute) with international visiting appointments, reflecting both institutional stewardship and active collaboration across research communities. Based in the Cracow metropolitan area, he holds a PhD in Literature and a D.Litt. in Linguistics, bringing rare expertise at the intersection of traditional philology and modern computational analysis. An understated but telling detail: he repeatedly pairs real-world attribution cases with methodological innovation, ensuring tools are validated on historically significant texts.
