# Cipher Type Detection

Malte Nuhn, Kevin Knight, 2014. _Proceedings of the 2014 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)_.

Trains a classifier to tell which of 50 cipher types, as defined by the American Cryptogram Association, produced a given ciphertext, so that archive material can be sorted before anyone tries to break it.
