Statistical Learning Methods for Profiling Analysis: Notebook for PAN at CLEF 2015

چکیده
Author profiling is the task to infer some information about an author by analyzing her/his writing style. It’s application in forensics, business intelligence and psychology makes this topic interesting for researching. In this notebook, we present our baseline approach using SVM and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) classifiers. We analyze features obtained from LIWC dictionaries, these are frequencies of use words by categories, which gives a general view about how the author writes and what he/she is talking about. According the experimental results, those are significant features to differentiate gender, age-group and personality. Although they are relatively few (not more than 100), they allow to discriminate with an acceptable accuracy.

Segmenting Target Audiences: Automatic Author Profiling using Tweets: Notebook for PAN at CLEF 2015
This paper describes a methodology proposed for author profiling using natural language processing and machine learning techniques. We used lexical information in the learning process. For those languages without lexicons, we automatically translated them, in order to be able to use this information. Finally, we will discuss how we applied this methodology to the 3rd Author Profiling Task at PA...

This paper describes and evaluates an effective author profiling model called SPATIUM-L1. The suggested strategy can be adapted without any problem to different languages (such as Dutch, English, Italian, and Spanish) in Twitter tweets. As features, we suggest using the 200 most frequent terms of the query text (isolated words and punctuation symbols). Applying a simple distance measure and loo...

متن کاملReadability for Author Profiling? Notebook for PAN at CLEF 2013
This paper briefly describes the approach taken to the Author Profiling task at PAN 13. It describes the simple features used, and the origins in thinking around text readability as a mechanism for identification, and the predictive model used which may have beneficially omitted classes, as well as offering commentary on the results obtained.
