A Random Forest Approach for Authorship Profiling

In this paper we present our approach to extract profile information from anonymized tweets for the author profiling task at PAN 2015 [10]. Particularly we explore the versatility of random forest classifiers for the genre and age groups information and random forest regressions to score important aspects of the personality of a user. Furthermore we propose a set of features tailored for this task based on characteristics of the twitters. In particular, our approach relies on previous proposed features for sentiment analysis tasks.
