Text-based automatic personality prediction: A bibliographic review
This is an incremental review that synthesizes existing research on APP, which is relevant for researchers in psychology and NLP interested in personality detection from human-generated content.
This paper provides a bibliographic review of natural language processing approaches for automatic personality prediction (APP) from text since 2010, categorizing methods into pre-trained independent, pre-trained model based, and multimodal approaches, and comparing results based on datasets.
Personality detection is an old topic in psychology and Automatic Personality Prediction (or Perception) (APP) is the automated (computationally) forecasting of the personality on different types of human generated/exchanged contents (such as text, speech, image, video). The principal objective of this study is to offer a shallow (overall) review of natural language processing approaches on APP since 2010. With the advent of deep learning and following it transfer-learning and pre-trained model in NLP, APP research area has been a hot topic, so in this review, methods are categorized into three; pre-trained independent, pre-trained model based, multimodal approaches. Also, to achieve a comprehensive comparison, reported results are informed by datasets.
