This paper describes our NIHRIO system for SemEval-2018 Task 3 "Irony detection in English tweets."We propose to use a simple neural network architecture of Multilayer Perceptron with various types of input features including: lexical, syntactic, semantic and polarity features.Our system achieves very high performance in both subtasks of binary and multi-class irony detection in tweets.In particular, we rank third using the accuracy metric and fifth using the F 1 metric.Our code is available at: https://github.com/NIHRIO/IronyDetectionInTwitter.
