Summary
In this work, the authors introduce a novel semi-supervised approach that is able to identify sarcasm in the comments of online reviews. In order to do that, they first define a small training set, labeled by hand, which contains some very obvious sarcastic comments and some clearly non-sarcastic ones. The sarcasm levels for each of those reviews range in a scale from 1-5. Using this train set, they extract two different types of features:
- Pattern Based
- Syntatctic
After the feature extraction process, in order to decide how sarcastic a new comment, drawn from a test dataset, is, they utilize a k-NN inspired classifier which works as follows:
