#2This is my first project in unsupervised NLP, so let me know if there's anything obviously wrong with the article or methodology.

I know nothing about NLP but would a run where it predicts the authorship of the known texts be useful to get some idea of the level of accuracy?

#4I did a similar exercise, and then applied it to the Titor posts. Turns out Alexander Hamilton is John Titor.

#5Fun fact: this problem is why grep was created by Ken Thompson [1].

Why did you choose an unsupervised method to solve a classification problem?

Maybe consider including the results of others' analyses alongside yours? Even more interesting would be a deep-dive into why they disagree. (Adventures in interpretation)
Also maybe do a PCA and show scatter plots of the first two PCs for each doc?
I'm no expert, but these could be fun avenues to explore.
