The emergence of intelligent technologies, sophisticated natural
language processing methodologies and huge textual repositories, invites
a new approach for the challenge of automatically identifying
personality dimensions through the analysis of textual data. This short
book aims to (1) introduce the challenge of computational personality
analysis, (2) present a unique approach to personality analysis and (3)
illustrate this approach through case studies and worked-out examples.
This book is of special relevance to psychologists, especially those
interested in the new insights offered by new computational and
data-intensive tools, and to computational social scientists interested
in human personality and language processing.
