Table 2 : Comparative results for Tweet-A using rule-based algorithm and statistical classifiers using our feature combinations 6 Evaluation Table 2 shows the performance of our classifiers in terms of Precision (P), Recall (R) and F-score<cite> Riloff et al. (2013)</cite> 's two rule-based algorithms: the ordered version predicts a tweet as sarcastic if it has a positive verb phrase followed by a negative situation/noun phrase, while the unordered does so if the two are present in any order. We see that all statistical classifiers surpass the rule-based algorithms.
