Papers with irony detection
What A Sunny Day ☔: Toward Emoji-Sensitive Irony Detection (D19-55)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing datasets for irony detection only contain 10% of ironic tweets with emojis . 45% of internet users in the united states use an e-moji in social media . |
| Approach: | They propose to use emojis to analyze irony detection datasets to train classifiers. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline can be used to analyze irony detection datasets using emojis. |
Disambiguating False-Alarm Hashtag Usages in Tweets for Irony Detection (P18-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to collect self-labeled data for irony detection are based on false-alarm hashtags. |
| Approach: | They propose a neural network-based model which disambiguates hashtag usages and prunes the self-labeled training data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the models trained on the less but cleaner training instances. |
What Speakers really Mean when they Ask Questions: Classification of Intentions with a Supervised Approach (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work on hidden intentions of speakers in questions during meals is based on written or oral data, which are less easy to interpret. |
| Approach: | They propose a typology of hidden intentions in questions asked during meals . they implement an automatic classification model based on annotated data and selected linguistic features. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is based on annotated data and features and evaluates its performance. |
TweetEval: Unified Benchmark and Comparative Evaluation for Tweet Classification (2020.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Modern NLP systems are typically ill-equipped when applied to noisy user-generated text. |
| Approach: | They propose a new evaluation framework consisting of seven Twitter-specific classification tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is based on seven heterogeneous Twitter-specific classification tasks. |
Incorporating Emoji Descriptions Improves Tweet Classification (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Tweets are short messages that often include specialized language such as hashtags and emojis. |
| Approach: | They propose a simple strategy to replace emojis with their natural language description and use pretrained word embeddings to process tweets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is more effective than pretrained emoji embeddings for tweet classification. |

| Challenge: | Existing methods for emotion extraction and sentiment analysis produce invalid results due to the use of irony. |
| Approach: | They propose to use emoji prediction to fine tune a model using hand labeled tweets with irony tags. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art method on Persian dataset with an accuracy of 83.1% and offers strong baseline for further research in Persian language. |
UMUTextStats: A linguistic feature extraction tool for Spanish (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Feature Engineering is the application of domain knowledge to build efficient machine learning models. |
| Approach: | a team of researchers has developed a linguistic extraction tool for Spanish . the tool uses linguistic features and embeddings to build efficient machine learning models . |
| Outcome: | UMUTextStats is a linguistic extraction tool for Spanish . it has been validated in infodemiology, hate-speech detection, author profiling, authorship verification, humour or irony detection, among others. |
Application and Analysis of a Multi-layered Scheme for Irony on the Italian Twitter Corpus TWITTIRÒ (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using a multi-layered scheme for the fine-grained annotation of irony on Italian Twitter is a challenging task to be performed by both human annotators and automatic NLP systems. |
| Approach: | They propose to apply a multi-layered scheme for the fine-grained annotation of irony to an Italian Twitter corpus. |
| Outcome: | The proposed scheme can be validated on Italian irony-laden social media contents and is available in the cross- and multi-lingual perspective. |
Ciron: a New Benchmark Dataset for Chinese Irony Detection (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Automatic Chinese irony detection often lacks labeled benchmark datasets . despite its pervasive nature, irony is a trope whose actual meaning differs from what is literally enunciated. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a Chinese benchmark dataset for automatic Chinese irony detection to provide a benchmark for machine learning models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset includes more than 8.7K posts, collected from Weibo, a micro blogging platform. |
Human and System Perspectives on the Expression of Irony: An Analysis of Likelihood Labels and Rationales (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new study examines the recognition of irony by humans and automatic systems . a fine-grained annotation scheme allows for improved modeling of ironity in automatic systems. |
| Approach: | They propose a fine-grained annotation scheme that allows for better recognition of irony by humans and automatic systems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on tweets annotated with high confidence and agreement . it also performs better on high-confidence and highagreement samples compared to automated systems . |
Tackling Irony Detection using Ensemble Classifiers (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Automated approaches to irony detection still fall short of what one would consider desirable performance. |
| Approach: | They propose to use transformer-based approaches to automate irony detection in social media . they propose to augmentation training data to address the binary and fine-grained problem . |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods improve performance over baselines and are not decisive for good results. |
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. |
