This paper describes our approach to tackle the Author Profiling task at PAN 2015. Our method relies on syntactic features, such as syntactic based n-grams of various types in order to predict the age, gender and personality traits that has the author of a given text. In this paper, we describe the used features, the employed classification algorithm, and other general ideas concerning the experiments we conducted.
