Personas represent distinct user types. However, while online user data can be demographically and behaviorally heterogeneous, most studies generate less than ten personas, regardless of how heterogeneous the data is. Because all persona creation efforts need to assign a number of personas to create, assigning this number evokes a fundamental question, How many personas to
Algorithmically generated personas can help organizations understand their social media audiences. However, when using algorithms to create personas from social media user data, the resulting personas may contain toxic quotes that negatively affect content creators’ perceptions of the personas. To address this issue, we have implemented toxicity detection in an algorithmic persona generation system capable
