The play 'Henry VIII' is known as a collaboration between Shakespeare and Fletcher, but it was not clear which writer was responsible for more of the production. Petr Preharchu, who works at the Czech Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic , uses machine learning to analyze which parts of Henry VIII are written by Shakespeare and which are written by Fletcher.
In the analysis, by learning past drama such as Shakespeare's “ Tempest ” and Fletcher's “ Valentinian ” to the algorithm using machine learning, “Shakespeare's style” and “Fletcher's style” are selected from the word selection and rhythm. It seems that he trained to be able to judge.

Like many years of research, Preharchu's AI was determined by Shakespeare to write more than half of the drama “Henry VIII”. However, according to the analysis of AI, not only Fletcher took over the production of the drama 'Henry VIII' from the second half of the work, but also Fletcher's text was occasionally seen in other scenes. In addition, there was a part where Shakespeare and Fletcher's texts were mixed, suggesting the possibility that Shakespeare and Fletcher were very closely involved in the play.
In addition to Shakespeare and Fletcher, it was speculated that the playwright Philip McSinger was also involved in the production of the play “Henry VIII”. Nger is not involved in production. '
However, there is a possibility that Shakespeare imitated Fletcher, Fletcher imitated Shakespeare, or each other, so to make the results of this research really useful, `` There is still a lot of work left '' is.
