Sarcasm poses a significant challenge for detection due to its unique linguistic phenomenon where the intended meaning is often opposite of the literal expression. Current sarcasm detection technology primarily utilizes multi-modal processing, but the connotative semantic information provided by the modality itself is limited. It is a challenge to mine the semantic information contained in the combination of sarcasm samples and external commonsense knowledge. Furthermore, as the essence of sarcasm detection lies in measuring emotional inconsistency, the rich semantic information may introduce excessive noise to inconsistency measurement. To mitigate these limitations, we propose a hierarchical framework in this paper. Specifically, to enrich the semantic information of each modality, our approach uses sentiment dictionaries to obtain the sentiment vectors by evaluating the words extracted from various modalities, and then combines them with each modality. Furthermore, in order to mine the joint semantic information implied in the modalities and improve measurement of emotional inconsistency, the emotional information representation obtained by fusing each modality’s data is concatenated with the sentiment vector. Then, cross-modal fusion is performed through cross-attention, and, finally, the sarcasm is recognized by fusing low-level information in the cross-modal fusion layer. Our model is evaluated on a public multi-modal sarcasm detection dataset based on Twitter, and the results demonstrate its superiority.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
