Extracting Psychological Indicators Using Question Answering

Abstract

In this work, we propose a method for extracting text spans that may indicate one of the BIG5 psychological traits using a question-answering task with examples that have no answer for the asked question. We utilized the RoBERTa model fine-tuned on SQuAD 2.0 dataset. The model was further fine-tuned utilizing comments from Reddit. We examined the effect of the percentage of examples with no answer in the training dataset on the overall performance. The results obtained in this study are in line with the SQuAD 2.0 benchmark and present a good baseline for further research.
