Personality recognition has traditionally been constrained by theory-dependent formulations, where models are trained to fit predefined psychological taxonomies rather than uncovering shared underlying behavioral structure. This limits generalization, as personality itself is better understood as theory-invariant, while existing annotations reflect only partial and sometimes inconsistent views of the same latent traits.

Traits Run Deeper introduces a personality assessment framework that tailors multimodal fusion to each trait dimension. It comprises a Multimodal Foundation Representation module that uses psychology-informed semantic templates, a Trait-Specific Modality Fusion module that asymmetrically fuses modalities to reduce cross‑modal interference, and a Distribution‑Calibrated Personality Regression module that corrects label imbalance. The approach achieves a ~25% reduction in mean squared error on the AVI Challenge 2026 validation set and wins the Personality Assessment Track.
