Abstract
Due to the rapid development of information technology, Internet has become part of everyday life gradually. People would like to communicate with friends to share their opinions on social networks. The diverse social network behavior is an ideal users' personality traits reflection. Existing behavior analysis methods for personality prediction mostly extract behavior attributes with heuristic. Although they work fairly well, but it is hard to extend and maintain. In this paper, for personality prediction, we utilize deep learning algorithm to build feature learning model, which could unsupervised extract Linguistic Representation Feature Vector (LRFV) from text published on Sina Micro-blog actively. Compared with other feature extraction methods, LRFV, as an abstract representation of Micro-blog content, could describe use's semantic information more objectively and comprehensively. In the experiments, the personality prediction model is built using linear regression algorithm, and different attributes obtained through different feature extraction methods are taken as input of prediction model respectively. The results show that LRFV performs more excellently in micro-blog behavior description and improve the performance of personality prediction model.
