- Authors: Yisi Sang, Xiangyang Mou, Mo Yu, Dakuo Wang, Jing Li, Jeffrey Stanton
- Abstract summary: We construct a benchmark, Story2Personality, to predict a movie character's MBTI or Big 5 personality types.
Experiments show that our task is challenging for the existing text classification models.
We propose a multi-view model for personality prediction using both verbal and non-verbal descriptions.

- Abstract: An NLP model that understands stories should be able to understand the
characters in them. To support the development of neural models for this
purpose, we construct a benchmark, Story2Personality. The task is to predict a
movie character's MBTI or Big 5 personality types based on the narratives of
the character. Experiments show that our task is challenging for the existing
text classification models, as none is able to largely outperform random
guesses. We further proposed a multi-view model for personality prediction
using both verbal and non-verbal descriptions, which gives improvement compared
to using only verbal descriptions. The uniqueness and challenges in our dataset
call for the development of narrative comprehension techniques from the
perspective of understanding characters.

We propose CHIRON, a new character sheet' based representation that organizes and filters textual information about characters.
We validate CHIRON via the downstream task of masked-character prediction, where our experiments show CHIRON is better and more flexible than comparable summary-based baselines.
metrics derived from CHIRON can be used to automatically infer character-centricity in stories, and that these metrics align with human judgments.

We propose a new task for assessing machines' skills of understanding fictional characters in narrative stories.
The task, TVShowGuess, builds on the scripts of TV series and takes the form of guessing the anonymous main characters based on the backgrounds of the scenes and the dialogues.
Our human study supports that this form of task covers comprehension of multiple types of character persona, including understanding characters' personalities, facts and memories of personal experience.

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.

We evaluate our model on two narrative understanding tasks: predicting character mental states, and desire fulfillment, and conduct a qualitative analysis.
