• Abstract: Deep learning techniques have gained a lot of traction in the field of NLP research. The aim of this paper is to predict the age and gender of an individual by inspecting their written text. We propose a supervised BERT-based classification technique in order to predict the age and gender of bloggers. The dataset used contains 681284 rows of data, with the information of the blogger's age, gender, and text of the blog written by them. We compare our algorithm to previous works in the same domain and achieve a better accuracy and F1 score. The accuracy reported for the prediction of age group was 84.2%, while the accuracy for the prediction of gender was 86.32%. This study relies on the raw capabilities of BERT to predict the classes of textual data efficiently. This paper shows promising capability in predicting the demographics of the author with high accuracy and can have wide applicability across multiple domains.

  This work investigates implicit categorization, inferring personality and gender variables directly from linguistic patterns in Telegram conversation data. We refine a Transformer-based language model (RoBERTa) to capture complex linguistic cues indicative of personality traits and gender differences. Confidence levels help to greatly raise model accuracy to 86.16%, hence proving RoBERTa's capacity to consistently identify implicit personality types from conversational text data.

  This work investigates the problem of predicting the publication period of a text document, specifically a news article, based on its textual content. We create our own extensive labeled dataset of over 350,000 news articles published by The New York Times over six decades. In our approach, we use a pretrained BERT model fine-tuned for the task of text classification, specifically for time period prediction.

  Selective prediction aims to learn a reliable model that abstains from making predictions when uncertain. Active learning aims to lower the overall labeling effort, and hence human dependence, by querying the most informative examples. In this work, we introduce a new learning paradigm, active selective prediction, which aims to query more informative samples from the shifted target domain.

  Accuracy is highest in the medical and physical sciences Units of Assessment (UoAs) and economics. Prediction accuracies above the baseline for the social science, mathematics, engineering, arts, humanities, and UoAs were much lower or close to zero. We increased accuracy with an active learning strategy and by selecting articles with higher prediction probabilities, as estimated by the algorithms, but this substantially reduced the number of scores predicted.

  Authors writing documents imprint identifying information within their texts: vocabulary, registry, punctuation, misspellings, or even emoji usage. Previous works use hand-crafted features or classification tasks to train their authorship models, leading to poor performance on out-of-domain authors. We propose a contrastively trained model fit to learn textbfauthorship embeddings instead of semantics.

  We analyse the gender-bias it induces in five downstream tasks related to emotion and sentiment intensity prediction. We propose an algorithm that finds fine-grained gender directions, i.e., one primary direction for each BERT layer. Experiments show that removing embedding components in such directions achieves great success in reducing BERT-induced bias in the downstream tasks.
