BACHELOR THESIS — JUNE 2025

Validating Stylistic Similarity Metrics in Author-Fine-Tuned Large Language Models.

How well do quantitative style metrics actually capture the “voice” of an author once you fine-tune an LLM on their work? I built a full experimental pipeline around LLaMA‑3.2‑1B, fine-tuned it on Charles Dickens and Mark Twain corpora using LoRA, and then evaluated the resulting models against a range of stylometric metrics — from constituency-parsing-based syntactic features to lexical and structural similarity scores.

The result: a clearer picture of which metrics meaningfully reflect author-level stylistic adaptation, and which are noisy or misleading. The repository contains the full training, inference, and analysis pipeline.
