Datasets were cleaned, named entities were replaced with their general type in all except PAN14, PAN15, and PAN20, and datasets were restructured into dataframes with columns |text1|text2|same| where a value of 0 in same meant the two texts had different authors, while a value of 1 meant the two texts had the same author.

All datasets were split into train/test/verification, keeping the splits if given (see paper for specifics) and otherwise using a 0.7:0.15:0.15 split.
