Jointly Learning Sentimental Clues and Context Incongruity for Sarcasm Detection

Sarcasm is widely used in social communities and e-commerce platforms, failing to detect it in natural language processing tasks leads to false positives, e.g., opinion mining and sentiment classification. Recent works have indicated that the two linguistic characteristics, sentiment and incongruity information are beneficial to sarcasm detection. However, sarcasm datasets with sentiment labels are usually unavailable, and researchers consider little semantic information while modeling incongruity. In this paper, we propose a multi-task learning framework that incorporates sentiment clues by soft sentiment labels and integrates semantic information while modeling context incongruity. Experimental results on datasets show that the model we proposed yields better performance for the sarcasm detection task with the help of sentiment clues and incongruity information.
