- for Author and Personality Prediction -
The PERSONAE corpus was collected for experiments in Authorship Attribution and Personality Prediction. It consists of 145 Dutch-language essays, written by 145 different students (BA in Linguistics and Literature at the University of Antwerp, Belgium). Each student also took an online MBTI personality test, allowing personality prediction experiments. The corpus was controlled for topic, register, genre, age, and education level.
We make available the original texts, a syntactically annotated version of the texts, and the metadata.
More information about the corpus can be found in the README file with the corpus, and in the following publication. Please refer to this paper when publishing work based on this corpus.
