Patent attributes
Personality aggregation and web browsing is described, for example, to find personality profiles of website audiences for use in recommendation systems, advertising systems, or other web services. In an embodiment natural browsing sequences of users who have given their consent are submitted to a pattern matching process to identify personality trait scores serendipitously occurring in the sequences. In an embodiment, an aggregator combines the personality trait scores by website to obtain audience personality profiles. In an example, a machine learning process carries out the aggregation and enables audience personality profiles of other websites to be predicted. For example, a random decision forest is trained using the natural browsing sequences having identified personality trait scores and once trained, is used to predict personality trait scores of other websites.
