DAICT: A Dialectal Arabic Irony Corpus Extracted from Twitter (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current scholarship is yet to reach an agreement on a universal definition of the concept of irony. |
| Approach: | They propose to query Twitter using irony-related hashtags to collect ironic messages which are then manually annotated by two linguists according to their working definition of irony. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus will be a valuable resource for developing open domain systems for automatic irony recognition in Arabic and its dialects in social media text. |
