Most of the existing work is mainly devoted to learning the representations of posts based on labeled data. Yet the ground-truth personality traits are collected through time-consuming questionnaires. Thus, one of the biggest limitations lies in the lack of training data for this data-hungry task. In addition, the correlations among traits should be considered since they are important psychological cues that could help collectively identify the traits. In this paper, we construct a fully-connected post graph for each user and develop a novel Contrastive Graph Transformer Network model (CGTN) which distills potential labels of the graphs based on both labeled and unlabeled data. Specifically, our model first explores a self-supervised Graph Neural Network (GNN) to learn the post embeddings. We design two types of post graph augmentations to incorporate different priors based on psycholinguistic knowledge of Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) and post semantics. Then, upon the post embeddings of the graph, a Transformer-based decoder equipped with post-to-trait attention is exploited to generate traits sequentially. Experiments on two standard datasets demonstrate that our CGTN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for personality detection.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2022/633","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/633","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/0633.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/633.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/bibtex/633","volume":{"slug":"2022","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2022","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/","year":2022,"location":"Vienna","dates":"23-29 July 2022","editors":"Luc De Raedt","isbn":"978-1-956792-00-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2022"},"section":"Natural Language Processing","track":"Main Track","number":633,"pages":{"first":4559,"last":4565},"keywords":["Natural Language Processing: Text Classification","Natural Language Processing: Psycholinguistics","Natural Language Processing: Applications"],"videos":[{"label":"Video #1","url":"https://slideslive.com/38986706","length_sec":89,"provider":"slideslive"},{"label":"Video #2","url":"https://slideslive.com/38984849","length_sec":345,"provider":"slideslive"}],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Coltheart, 1981] Max Coltheart.
