A Hybrid Deep Learning Technique for Personality Trait Classification From Text

Recently, Cognitive-based Sentiment Analysis with emphasis on automatic detection of user behaviour, such as personality traits, based on online social media text has gained a lot of attention. However, most of the existing works are based on conventional techniques, which are not sufficient to get promising results. In this research work, we propose a hybrid Deep Learning-based model, namely Convolutional Neural Network concatenated with Long Short-Term Memory, to show the effectiveness of the proposed model for 8 important personality traits (Introversion-Extroversion, Intuition-Sensing, Thinking-Feeling, Judging-Perceiving). We implemented our experimental evaluations on the benchmark dataset to accomplish the personality trait classification task. Evaluations of the datasets have shown better results, which demonstrates that the proposed model can effectively classify the user's personality traits as compared to the state-of-the-art techniques. Finally, we evaluate the effectiveness of our approach through statistical analysis. With the knowledge obtained from this research, organizations are capable of making their decisions regarding the recruitment of personals in an efficient way. Moreover, they can implement the information obtained from this research as best practices for the selection, management, and optimization of their policies, services, and products.
