Incorporating Textual Information on User Behavior for Personality Prediction (P19-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have shown that textual information of user posts and user behaviors are useful for predicting the personality of social media users. |
| Approach: | They propose to use textual information of user behaviors to predict personality of Twitter users by taking user behaviors into account. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models can predict personality of users who do not post frequently, while taking user behaviors into account. |

Hierarchical Modeling for User Personality Prediction: The Role of Message-Level Attention (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Language processing is increasingly finding use as a supplement for questionnaires to assess psychological attributes of consenting individuals, but most approaches neglect to consider whether all documents of an individual are equally informative. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that uses message-level attention to learn the relative weight of users’ social media posts for assessing their five factor personality traits. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms models with word-level attention and yields state-of-the-art accuracies for all five personality traits. |
User-Level Race and Ethnicity Predictors from Twitter Text (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using social media text to identify user-level race and ethnicity is a useful tool for a range of downstream applications, including passive polling or quantifying demographic bias. |
| Approach: | They propose to collect data from social media users who self-report their race/ethnicity through a survey to develop models which accurately predict the membership of a user to the four largest racial and ethnic groups with up to .884 AUC. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models accurately predict the membership of a user to the four largest racial and ethnic groups with up to .884 AUC and make available to the research community. |
Examining the Utility of Self-disclosure Types for Modeling Annotators of Social Norms (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work has explored the use of personal information in the form of persona sentences to improve modeling of individual characteristics and prediction of annotator labels for subjective tasks. |
| Approach: | They categorize self-disclosures and use them to build annotator models for predicting judgments of social norms by analyzing comments from original post. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves the model and its ability to predict annotator labels. |
Beyond Text: Leveraging Multi-Task Learning and Cognitive Appraisal Theory for Post-Purchase Intention Analysis (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have shown that user-level features can carry more task-related information than the text itself. |
| Approach: | They evaluate multi-task learning frameworks grounded in Cognitive Appraisal Theory to predict user behavior as a function of users’ self-expression and psychological attributes. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models improve on the language and traits of users, while lacking rich annotations of other attributes. |
Emotional Intensity Estimation based on Writer’s Personality (2022.aacl-srw)

| Challenge: | Existing emotion analysis models are difficult to accurately estimate the writer’s subjective emotions behind the text. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for personalized emotional intensity estimation based on a writer's personality test for Japanese SNS posts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on the existing method and the proposed hybrid model achieved state-of-the-art performance. |
Predicting Human Activities from User-Generated Content (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Several studies have applied computational approaches to the understanding and modeling of human behavior at scale and in real time. |
| Approach: | They propose a sentence embedding framework tailored to recognize the semantics of human activities and perform automatic clustering of these activities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can make predictions based on the text of user-generated content and self-description. |
Representing Social Media Users for Sarcasm Detection (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing annotated corpus of Reddit comments is limited by available annotation methods. |
| Approach: | They propose a Bayesian approach that directly represents authors’ propensities to be sarcastic and a dense embedding approach that can learn interactions between the author and the text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach performs better in homogeneous contexts, whereas the dense embeddings prove valuable in more diverse contexts. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing data cannot be used to predict responses for new questions or participants. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that uses social media texts and the text of the question to predict a participant's questionnaire response. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be used to integrate new participants or new questions into psychological studies without costly data collection. |
Cross-media User Profiling with Joint Textual and Social User Embedding (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Empirical studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach to cross-media user profiling tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a uniform user embedding learning approach to address cross-media user profiling by bridging the knowledge between the source and target media. |
| Outcome: | Empirical results show that the proposed approach performs well on two cross-media user profiling tasks. |
Exploiting Rich Textual User-Product Context for Improving Personalized Sentiment Analysis (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Typical approaches do not exploit the potential of historical reviews or do not make full use of user/product associations. |
| Approach: | They propose to use historical reviews to initialize user and product representations and incorporate textual associations via a user-product cross-context module. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms existing state-of-the-art models on IMDb, Yelp and Longformer benchmarks. |
