Table 1. A summary of the research works on sarcasm detection.

Reference Dataset Methods Findings
(Gupta et al., 2020) Tweets Combined the punctuation and sentiment related features with top 200 features extracted by TF-IDF for a voting classifier Extraction and elimination of punctuation and sarcastic features enhances the accuracy of sarcasm detection.
(Kumar & Garg, 2019) Typo-graphic Memes Incorporated semantic, lexical, and pragmatic features with KNN, decision tree, support vector classifier (SVC) with RBF kernel and linear kernel, random forest (RF), and multiLayer perceptron (MLP). Hand-crafted features help to enhance the performance of the MLP with typo-graphic memes.
(Khatri, Pranav & Anand, 2020) Tweets GloVe and BERT embedding with logistic regression, SVM, RF, and Gaussian Naïve (GN). Efficiency of sarcasm detection is elevated by incorporating embedding.
(Lemmens et al., 2020) 1. Tweets 2. Reddit Comments Ensemble of adaboost classifier integrated with decision tree as base estimator, learning probabilities of sarcasm predicted by four component models including LSTM, MLP, CNN- LSTM , and SVM. Sarcasm detection on Reddit data is intrinsically more challenging.
(Kumar et al., 2020) Reddit Comments Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory integrated with multi-head attention (MHA-BiLSTM). Incorporating multi-head attention-based system in BiLSTM improves the sarcasm detection accuracy.
(Javdan, Minaei-Bidgoli & Atai, 2020) 1. Tweets 2. Reddit Comments Several models including NBSVM, BERT, BERT-SVM, BERT-LR, XLNET, Bi-GRU-CNN+BiLSTM-CNN, IAN, LCF-BERT, and BERT-AEN Models pre-trained with a combination of BERT and aspect-based sentiment analysis enhances the performance of sarcsdm detection.
(Son et al., 2019) Tweets A hybrid of soft attention-based LSTM and CNN Semantic word embeddings from GloVe assists helps to show robustness for sarcasm detection.
(Jena, Sinha & Agarwal, 2020) 1. Tweets 2. Reddit Comments Contextual-Network (C-Net) Sarcastic nature of a conversation can be efficiently captured by integrating the context.
(Majumder et al., 2019) Text Snippets GRU-based neural network There is a correlation between sentiment and sarcasm of the context.
