Inferring Personal Traits from Social Media

Dongwon Lee, Pennsylvania State University, USA.

Abstract: Social Network Services (SNSs) have become an integral part of people¢s lives in recent years, facilitating the social relations among people who share similar activities or interests in online and/or offline lives. With an explosively growing number of users, SNSs produce diverse forms of user-generated contents (e.g., tweets, wall posts, uploaded photos, comments) as well as network features (e.g., follower or friend list). One of interesting questions (with practical implications) is to see if one can accurately infer the personal traits of individuals in SNSs using diverse forms of social media data therein. In this talk, I will present a few recent such attempts developed in the SUM project (http://goo.gl/7LsfAJ) at Penn State.
