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. |
