Enhancing sarcasm detection through grasshopper optimization with deep learning based sentiment analysis on social media

Abstract

Detecting sarcasm in social media presents challenges in natural language processing (NLP) due to the informal language, contextual complexities, and nuanced expression of sentiment. Integrating sentiment analysis (SA) with sarcasm detection enhances the understanding of text meaning. Deep learning (DL), utilizing neural networks to grasp lexical and contextual features, offers a method for sarcasm detection. However, current DL-based sarcasm detection methods often overlook sentiment semantics, a crucial aspect for improving detection outcomes. Therefore, this study develops a new sarcasm detection using grasshopper optimization algorithm with DL (SD-GOADL) technique. The SD-GOADL technique aims to explore the patterns that exist in social media data and detect sarcasm. To obtain this, the SD-GOADL technique undergoes data pre-processing and Glove based word embedding technique. Next, the classification of sarcasm takes place using deep belief network (DBN) system. For enhancing the detection results of the DBN approach, the SD-GOADL technique uses GOA for hyperparameter selection process. The stimulation outcome of the SD-GOADL technique is tested on a sarcasm dataset and the results highlight the significant performance of the SD-GOADL technique compared to recent models.
