Author profiling

The PoliticEs shared task consists of extracting the gender and the profession as demographic traits, and the political ideology as a psychographic trait from a given user’s set of tweets. Political ideology is considered as a binary (pib) and as a multi-class problem (pim). The possible categories of each trait are as follows:

• gender: male, female.
• profession: political, journalist.
• pib: left, right.
• pim: left, moderate left, right, moderate right.
