No. The paper (arXiv 2401.16968v1, 30 Jan 2024, Deezer Research and Loria) is fully automatic and uses only human-written novel text. It encodes each character's quotes with pretrained authorship-verification models and tests whether characters can be told apart (character vs character) and whether unseen quotes can be attributed to characters. Chapterwise: LUAR reached AUC 81.6 for character-vs-character but 53.6 for quote attribution, only slightly above chance. The authors guess the attribution task is hard "even for humans" but ran no human test. S52's negative is confirmed for this paper.
