SARCAMNET: EXTENSION OF LEXICON ALGORITHM FOR EMOJI-BASED SARCASM DETECTION FROM TWITTER DATA

Abstract

:- Lexicon algorithm is used to determine the sentiment expressed by a textual content. This sentiment might be negative, neutral, or positive. It is possible to be sarcastic using only positive or neutral sentiment textual contents. Hence, lexicon algorithm can be useful but insufficient for sarcasm detection. It is necessary to extend the lexicon algorithm to come up with systems that would be proven efficient for sarcasm detection on neutral and positive sentiment textual contents. In this paper, two sarcasm analysis systems both obtained from the extension of the lexicon algorithm have been proposed for that sake. The first system consists of the combination of a lexicon algorithm and a pure sarcasm analysis algorithm. The second system consists of the combination of a lexicon algorithm and a sentiment prediction algorithm. Finally, naive bayes are used to predict sarcasm detection using pretrained features.
