| Challenge: | EPIC is the first annotated corpus for irony analysis based on data perspectivism . a recent trend in natural language processing (NLP) postulates that the disagreement among annotators in a language resource is a valuable source of knowledge, rather than noise that ought to be minimized or discarded. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate an English perspectivist irony corpus based on data perspectivism . they validate the model by creating perspective-aware models that encode the perspectives of annotators grouped according to their demographic characteristics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can capture different perspectives on irony among different groups of annotators, and is more confident than non-perspectivist models. |
