Personality Profiling

Personality profiling aims to infer individual personality traits from various data sources, primarily focusing on digital footprints like social media posts, spending habits, and conversational interactions. Current research utilizes machine learning models, including large language models (LLMs) and various algorithms like support vector machines and random forests, to analyze linguistic features, behavioral patterns, and psycholinguistic cues to predict personality traits such as the Big Five. This field is significant for its potential applications in personalized services, targeted marketing, and even cybersecurity threat assessment, while also raising important ethical considerations regarding privacy and bias in algorithmic predictions.
