Computational Model for Understanding Emotions in Sarcasm: A Survey
Sarcasm is generally associated with a negative emotion. The question is which negative emotionanger, sadness, disgust, any other? This paper presents a methodology of detecting the exact emotion(s) in a sarcastic sentence. Sarcasm arises from contextual incongruity in a sentence and bears a surface sentiment which is different from the intended sentiment. While the surface sentiment may be positive, the intended sentiment is negative. Thus the underlying emotion recognition task becomes one of the most difficult parts of the conundrum. Previous works have extensively studied sentiment and emotion in language, while the relationship between sarcasm and emotion has been largely unaddressed. In this paper, we investigate various challenges and techniques for Sarcasm Detection, Emotion Analysis and relationship between them.
