Sarcasm Detection Using Multi-Channel Attention Based BLSTM On News Headline

Abstract

Abstract Sarcasm is often used to express a negative opinion using positive or intensified positive words in social media. This intentional ambiguity makes sarcasm detection, an important task of sentiment analysis. Detecting a sarcastic tone in natural language hinders the performance of sentiment analysis tasks. The majority of the studies on automatic sarcasm detection emphasize on the use of lexical, syntactic, or pragmatic features that are often unequivocally expressed through figurative literary devices such as words, emoticons, and exclamation marks. In this paper, we introduce a multi-channel attention-based bidirectional long-short memory (MCAB-BLSTM) network to detect sarcastic headline on the news. Multi-channel attention-based bidirectional long-short memory (MCAB-BLSTM) proposed model was evaluated on the news headline dataset, and the results-compared to the CNN-LSTM and Hybrid Neural Network were excellent.
