Abstract

Over the years, with the help of technology, it has become much easier to analyze data in general and, more specifically, personality. Behavioral analysis is a new trend, and discovering what people think and feel, among other things, helps boost many things, including recommendation systems, e-commerce, fraud detection, etc. This paper focuses on personality analysis using machine and deep learning with different datasets, focusing on computational approaches and setting aside psychological studies.
