Detecting Target of Sarcasm using Ensemble Methods
Pradeesh Parameswaran, Andrew Trotman, Veronica Liesaputra, David M. Eyers · 2019
We describe our methods in trying to detect the target of sarcasm as part of ALTA 2019 shared task. We use combination of ensemble of clas- sifiers and a rule-based system. Our team ob- tained a Dice-Sorensen Coefficient score of 0.37150, which placed 2nd in the public leader- board. Despite no team beating the baseline score for the private dataset, we present our findings and also some of the challenges and future improvements which can be used in or- der to tackle the problem.
