This paper describes VRAIN’s participation at IroSvA 2019: Irony Detection in Spanish Variants task of the Iberian Languagues Evaluation Forum (IberLEF 2019). We describe the entire pre-processing, feature extraction, model selection and hyperparameter optimization carried out for our submissions to the shared task. A central part of our work is to provide an in-depth comparison of the performance of different classical Machine learning techniques, as well as some recent transfer learning proposals for Natural Language Processing (NLP) classification problems.
