Abstract

In this paper, anonymized mobile phone log data have been used to predict users’ personality in the context of Big5 model in a privacy-preserving manner. First, the Big5 concepts are presented. Afterwards, we present how to calculate Big5 indicators from the available mobile data sets. Hereafter, Big5 traits can be predicted based on those just-specified indicators. As a proof of our concepts, implementation results will be presented in the context of TB5 (Tracking Big5) tool, which has been designed and developed to predict Big5 personalities in a representative manner.
