Moreover, many researchers have demonstrated that there is a strong link between personality traits and emotions. In this paper, we build on the known correlation between personality traits and emotional behaviors, and propose a novel multitask learning framework, SoGMTL that simultaneously predicts both of them. We also empirically evaluate and discuss different information-sharing mechanisms between the two tasks. To ensure the high quality of the learning process, we adopt a MAML-like framework for model optimization. Our more computationally efficient CNN-based multitask model achieves the state-of-the-art performance across multiple famous personality and emotion datasets, even outperforming Language Model based models.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.02346v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.02346v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"multitask-learning-for-emotion-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/npuliyang/Personality-Detection-MTL","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"language-modeling","task_name":"Language Modeling"},{"task_slug":"language-modelling","task_name":"Language Modelling"},{"task_slug":"model-optimization","task_name":"Model Optimization"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
