This model involves one LSTM reading the context and another reading the response. While Ghosh and Veale (2017) proposed a similar architecture based on bidirectional LSTMs to detect sarcasm in Twitter, we found that bidirectional LSTMs performed similarly to unidirectional LSTMs. We used two different word embedding architectures, one from a previous paper trained on a separate Twitter data set and one using CBOW with position-weights, with character n-grams of length 5, a window of size 5 and 10 negatives (Ghosh et al., 2018; Grave et al., 2018) . Sentence embeddings were obtained from averaging the word embeddings.

In the data, we removed several exact duplicates of observations and several almost-exact duplicates, where the context or responses would only have minor differences in punctuation (e.g. including or excluding a period) or a few characters. Text in this dataset also had an issue where a space was always placed on both sides of an apostrophe (e.g. \"ol' Pete isn't happy\" would become \"ol ' Pete isn ' t happy\"). To fix this, we created a list of English contractions and slang terms paired with their expanded form (e.g. \"ol'\" with \"old\" and \"isn't\" with \"is not\") and then cleaned all the text using the list. We also removed all occurrences of \"<URL>\" and \"@USER\" in the text. Lastly, we expanded hashtags using the python package ekphrasis (Baziotis et al., 2017) .", | |

These included binary features encoding whether any word in the response was entirely capitalized and whether the response contained quotation marks. We also created a ternary feature for whether zero, one, or multiple exclamation points were used in the response. Additionally, we developed features that were duplicated for both the context and response. These included a binary feature indicating if any word in the text had unnecessary repeating letters as well as a ternary feature for the sentiment of the context or response (positive, negative, or neutral) using TextBlob (Loria, 2018) .

More specifically, from a sample of 200 tweets that we took, we saw that 67.7% of the political tweets were sarcastic while 31.8% of the non-political tweets were sarcastic. We created this feature by conducting a boolean search on the response and context for key words and phrases that we deemed to be political. These included the names of famous politicians and words or phrases associated with relevant political issues such as \"elections\", \"capitalists\", \"planned parenthood\", or \"sanctuary city\". In order to reduce our false positive rate for political classification, we were careful to exclude words that are often political but could easily be used in a non-political context such as \"president\" (e.g. the president of a basketball team) or \"immigrant\" (e.g. a person referencing their life story).", | |

In order to implement this, we first trained and validated a multitude of models on only half of the training data given, returning classification probabilities on the other fifty percent of our training data and all of the test data. These models included the LSTM model and BERT model embeddings passed through an SVM, both discussed earlier, in addition to an LDA topic model, an XGBoost model, and a Gaussian Process Classifier, all of which seemed to perform decently on their own (besides LDA) and implement varying logic to the same classification problem. We chose a 50/50 split for our first training since we wanted to supply these initial models with enough training data to develop accurate classifications while leaving enough data for our ensemble classifier to train on. Once obtaining these outputs, we trained a Logistic Regression model on the prediction probabilities generated by the many models for the remaining 50 percent of the training set as well as the sarcasm features that we had developed. We chose Logistic Regression because it seemed to overfit less than polynomial kernel SVM or decision forest, and there has been research on the benefits of Logistic Regression on accuracy for ensemble learning (Wang et al., 2015) . We then used this Logistic Regression to predict whether the test data was sarcastic or not. This model achieved a validation score of 0.779 and a test score of 0.686, indicating that the model did not generalize well. This ensemble model also worsened scores of our best models, which would achieve a higher F1-macro validation score when trained on the entirety of our training dataset. However, the best transformer models and RNN models would drop from a validation score of above 0.703 and 0.682 to 0.667 and 0.504 respectively, when trained on half of the data as done in the ensemble model. Therefore, we believe that the ensemble model would have achieved better scores if it were trained on a larger data set than the one we worked with. However, it appears that the weighted transformers model above performed best given our dataset.", | |

| "text": "These results, however, are far below the F1-macro scores that were achieved in validation, which led us to believe that our training data may have come from a different distribution than our test data. In order to investigate this further, we calculated distributions of our features for both the train and test set. We found a few differences between the distributions indicating that there may be a covariate shift between the training and test sets. We provide a few results from this analysis in Table 4 . Notably, we see that there was a difference of .0816 in the percentage of tweets that were political between the test set and the training set. We also see far less observations with quotes or fully capitalized words in the test set than the training set. While this may be due to a small dataset and a high variance in the distribution of tweets, it still provides us with enough information to believe that there is a covariate shift between the training and test sets.", | |

In conjunction with the covariate shift, we believe that our training and test set come from different distributions which would greatly increase our error. This research can hopefully guide future work on the topic of detecting sarcasm in social media. On that note, we would like to provide a few suggestions that others may find helpful in tackling the problem and a few of the findings that resulted in the largest improvements for our results.", | |

| "text": "First, utilizing multiple transformers and weighting them by performance seems to perform far better than a single transformer approach. Presumably, this allows the model to contain the information provided in each of the embeddings as opposed to a single form of embeddings. Next, we believe that this task requires a large amount of training data. We believe the reason the transformers performed so well was that they were pre-trained on large datasets. The models that we trained from scratch did not have as much training data, and we believe that they would have performed better with more training data. We believe that the weighted binary cross-entropy loss function to incorporate both datasets is a potential approach to help with this, and a future step would be to incorporate this into our final transformer models. Additionally, as emojis are an incredibly prevalent form of communication on social media, as a future step, we would like to incorporate emojis into the embedding space of our models. Finally, sarcasm detection is a difficult task. Even for humans, it is difficult to determine whether individuals are being sarcastic online. There are many complex variables that are difficult to quantify when determining if a short post is sarcastic. Therefore, capturing this notion of sarcasm within a model is difficult as well. We hope our techniques may be improved and expanded upon to solve other challenging natural language tasks.", | |
