Abstract

Sarcasm is a type of speech where people use positive words to convey a negative message. Recently, only a few research have been presented that focus on the entire spectrum of sarcasm in order to identify sarcastic sentiments present in both the image and the text. This work presents a novel firebug swarm optimization-based long short-term memory (FSO-LSTM) architecture to identify the sarcastic sentiments present in tweets. To identify the facial expressions of the users, the proposed FSO-based LSTM architecture is trained using the CK + dataset. The FSO algorithm is used to optimize the weighting factors of the LSTM architecture and also minimize the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error. The proposed method primarily attempts to address two challenging issues in sarcasm detection: the high number of false negatives and the fact that polite tweets often go undetected. The user's mood changes (sarcastic) such as rude, polite, furious, and impassive can be identified using the proposed model. Hence, the proposed classifier is capable of analyzing the behavior change of the user by collecting the past twitter account history. The efficiency of the proposed methodology is evaluated using different performance metrics such as accuracy, RMSE, confusion matrix, and loss. The proposed methodology offers an average classification accuracy of 97.25% classification accuracy when compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.
