IIT Ropar
PATIALA: Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Ropar, have developed a code to detect sarcasm in news headlines. The team studied two international news organisations-one with sarcastic headlines and the other without.
Their research paper was published in international journal, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), in November 2020. The researchers claimed that computer program can detect sarcasm with more than 86% accuracy. The "sarcasm detector" works using neural networks to understand how a computer learns the patterns of sarcasm. The project also consists of a deep-learning system that categorises a certain newspaper headline as either sarcastic or non-sarcastic, after being trained on similar examples.
