Sarcasm detection of tweets without #sarcasm: data science approach

Rupali Amit Bagate, R. Suguna

Abstract


Identifying sarcasm present in the text could be a challenging work. In sarcasm, a negative word can flip the polarity of a positive sentence. Sentences can be classified as sarcastic or non-sarcastic. It is easier to identify sarcasm using facial expression or tonal weight rather detecting from plain text. Thus, sarcasm detection using natural language processing is major challenge without giving away any specific context or clue such as #sarcasm present in a tweet. Therefore, research tries to solve this classification problem using various optimized models. Proposed model, analyzes whether a given tweet, is sarcastic or not without the presnece of hashtag sarcasm or any kind of specific context present in text. To achieve better results, we used different machine learning classification methodology along with deep learning embedding techniques. Our optimized model uses a stacking technique which combines the result of logistic regression and long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural net feed to light gradient boosting technique which generates better result as compare to existing machine learning and neural network algorithm. The key difference of our research work is sarcasm detection done without #sarcasm which has not been much explored earlier by any researcher. The metrics used for evolutionis F1-score and confusion matrix.
