• Title: Personal-ITY: A Novel YouTube-based Corpus for Personality Prediction in Italian
• Authors: Elisa Bassignana, Malvina Nissim and Viviana Patti
• Abstract summary: We present a novel corpus for personality prediction in Italian, containing a larger number of authors and a different genre compared to previously available resources. The corpus is built exploiting Distant Supervision, assigning Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) labels to YouTube comments, and can lend itself to a variety of experiments. We report on preliminary experiments on Personal-ITY, which can serve as a baseline for future work, showing that some types are easier to predict than others, and discussing the perks of cross-dataset prediction.

  In this assignment, we examine whether there is a correlation between the personality type of a person and the texts they wrote. In order to do this, we aggregated datasets of Reddit comments labeled with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) of the author and built different supervised classifiers based on BERT to try to predict the personality of an author given a text.

• Humans and language models diverge when predicting repeating text [52.03471802608112]
  We present a scenario in which the performance of humans and LMs diverges. Human and GPT-2 LM predictions are strongly aligned in the first presentation of a text span, but their performance quickly diverges when memory begins to play a role. We hope that this scenario will spur future work in bringing LMs closer to human behavior.

  We describe a series of experiments in which the well-known Bidirectional Representations from Transformers (BERT) model is fine-tuned to perform MBTI classification. Our main findings suggest that the current approach significantly outperforms well-known text classification models based on bag-of-words and static word embeddings alike.

  We investigate 3848 profiles from Twitter with self-labeled Myers-Briggs personality traits (MBTI) We leverage BERT, a state-of-the-art NLP architecture based on deep learning, to analyze various sources of text that hold most predictive power for our task. We find that biographies, statuses, and liked tweets contain significant predictive power for all dimensions of the MBTI system.

  This paper explores learning rich self-supervised entity representations from large amounts of associated text. Once pre-trained, these models become applicable to multiple entity-centric tasks such as ranked retrieval, knowledge base completion, question answering, and more. We present several training strategies that, unlike prior approaches, learn to jointly predict words and entities.

• Intrinsic Probing through Dimension Selection [69.52439198455438]
  Most modern NLP systems make use of pre-trained contextual representations that attain astonishingly high performance on a variety of tasks. Such high performance should not be possible unless some form of linguistic structure inheres in these representations, and a wealth of research has sprung up on probing for it. In this paper, we draw a distinction between intrinsic probing, which examines how linguistic information is structured within a representation, and the extrinsic probing popular in prior work, which only argues for the presence of such information by showing that it can be successfully extracted.
