There was a talk about detecting patterns and writing styles at Chaos Computer Congress a bunch of years ago.
The researchers also presented a tool to anonymize text as far as I can remember.
I will go look for the talk.
Edit: Found it!

They talk about their software to find who wrote what, but also how to use that knowledge to write software that attempts to anonymize text.
The New York Times article I linked mentioned that. I will have to watch that video though so I can get a better understanding of the mechanics of it. Thanks for the link.
