Personality Prediction Using Machine Learning (2)
Personality Prediction Using Machine Learning (2)
LEARNING
ABSTRACT
Personality prediction from facial expressions and visual cues with the aid
of computer vision and machine learning. We were working on a labeled
image dataset, applying varying models of machine learning techniques,
including convolutional neural networks and support vector machines. The
CNN model does particularly well in terms of very high accuracy for traits
such as extroversion and openness. The results show that computer vision
and machine learning approaches can be fairly effective in analyzing visual
data for extracting personality characteristics to apply in recruitment and,
for that matter, potentially also in the design of user experiences. Further
future work will focus on improving the accuracy of the model and
enlarging the dataset toward better generalization.

I. INTRODUCTION
This is the most elementary aspect for the success of an organization. The
process involving reviewing of resumes and conducting interviews limits a
long time frame, often failing to provide a total picture of the candidate's
personality and potentials. Resumes sum up, in general, the qualifications
and experiences of a candidate, but the very essential personality traits that
may decide how well somebody could fit within a team or an organizational
culture can't be expressed. Therefore, companies are being dependent on
technological progressions to better this process. Researchers are now
exploring how machine learning can predict the personality of a candidate
from a resume or a CV, thus providing much better efficiency and
comprehensive hiring processes.
The basic overall idea behind such research is that words, phrases, and
patterns on a resume or a CV indicate some kind of personality. The entire
traits would be very significant if those could be accurately analyzed,
providing crucial knowledge regarding the suitability of the candidate in
that specific role. Machine learning is a subsection of artificial intelligence,
and it finds any patterns that appear in large collections of data. Because it
potentially processes so much information, machine learning can potentially
review resumes and identify attributes that a human selector could
overlook. It can further improve hiring based on the increased level of
accuracy, without bias, and with minimal margin for human error.
Apart from this, the process of hiring also gets less cumbersome and
quicker for the companies such that the load on human resource
departments is lightened and the focus is laid down on more strategic
interventions. With early screening and personality trait discovery early in
the process using automation, the companies can quickly rule out
candidates who are likely to fail at their job. In addition, this technology
may be particularly useful for large companies where hundreds or
thousands of applications for one position are received, and reviewing every
CV manually is impossible and very time-consuming.

III. METHODOLOGY
.I Data Collection
Start by gathering resumes or CVs in various formats, such as PDFs or
DOCX files. These documents might also be supplemented with
personality assessments like quizzes or questionnaires.
Sources for this data can include public repositories (like Kaggle),
proprietary databases from companies, or your own collected data.
IV.II Data Preprocessing
Once the CVs are collected, you need to convert them into a format that’s
machine-readable. This involves extracting and cleaning the text by
removing unnecessary formatting or artifacts.
To make the text ready for analysis, you’ll apply natural language
processing (NLP) techniques like tokenization (breaking down the text
into smaller parts), stemming/lemmatization (simplifying words to their
base form), and removing common but irrelevant words (stopwords).
IV.III Feature Extraction
From this cleaned text, you’ll start identifying important features. For
example, you could look at the frequency of certain words, sentence
structures, or key phrases that may relate to personality traits.
Advanced NLP tools like TF-IDF (to gauge the importance of words) or
Word2Vec (to map words into numerical vectors) can be used to represent
the text numerically, making it easier to analyze.
Then, align these features with established personality models, such as
the Big Five traits, to start mapping characteristics to individual CVs.
IV.IV Model Selection
Now it’s time to choose your machine learning model. Some common
algorithms include Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines
(SVM), or Random Forests, which can classify and predict personality
traits from the CV data.
If you’re aiming for more advanced predictions, deep learning methods
like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) or language models (like
BERT or GPT) can provide more nuanced insights, especially when
analyzing complex text data.
IV.V Training and Validation
Split your dataset into training, validation, and test sets. This helps ensure
your model isn’t just memorizing the data, but actually learning patterns
that generalize to new, unseen CVs.
Train the model on your dataset, fine-tuning its settings
(hyperparameters) to get the best performance.
IV.Evaluation
Once the model is trained, evaluate its performance using metrics such as
accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. These metrics will tell you how
well your model is identifying personality traits.
Compare different models and algorithms to see which one delivers the
most accurate and reliable results.
IV. Deployment
After evaluation, the model can be deployed into a company’s
recruitment system. This way, it can automatically screen incoming CVs
and predict the personality traits of candidates, aiding the hiring process.
Keep a feedback loop in place, using real-world results to continue
improving the model over time.
IV.VIII Limitations and Improvement
Like any machine learning project, there will be challenges. You’ll need
to deal with issues like imbalanced datasets, where certain traits might be
over- or under-represented.
Additionally, computational limitations might slow down the process,
particularly if you're using more complex models.
However, continuous learning and regularly updating the model with
fresh data will improve its accuracy and reduce any inherent biases.
