A Deeper Look into Sarcastic Tweets Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Understand

Sarcasm detection is a key task for many natural language processing tasks.

• In sentiment analysis, for example, sarcasm can flip the polarity of an "apparently positive" sentence and, hence, negatively affect polarity detection performance.
• To date, most approaches to sarcasm detection have treated the task primarily as a text categorization problem.
• Sarcasm, however, can be expressed in very subtle ways and requires a deeper understanding of natural language that standard text categorization techniques cannot grasp.
