Abstract: Sentiment analysis (SA) is the procedure of recognizing the emotions related to the data that exist in social networking. The existence of sarcasm in textual data is a major challenge in the efficiency of the SA. Earlier works on sarcasm detection on text utilize lexical as well as pragmatic cues namely interjection, punctuations, and sentiment shift that are vital indicators of sarcasm. With the advent of deep-learning, recent works, leveraging neural networks in learning lexical and contextual features, removing the need for handcrafted feature. In this aspect, this study designs a deep learning with natural language processing enabled SA (DLNLP-SA) technique for sarcasm classification. The proposed DLNLP-SA technique aims to detect and classify the occurrence of sarcasm in the input data. Besides, the DLNLP-SA technique holds various sub-processes namely preprocessing, feature vector conversion, and classification. Initially, the pre-processing is performed in diverse ways such as single character removal, multi-spaces removal, URL removal, stopword removal, and tokenization. Secondly, the transformation of feature vectors takes place using the N-gram feature vector technique. Finally, mayfly optimization (MFO) with multi-head self-attention based gated recurrent unit (MHSA-GRU) model is employed for the detection and classification of sarcasm. To verify the enhanced outcomes of the DLNLP-SA model, a comprehensive experimental investigation is performed on the News Headlines Dataset from Kaggle Repository and the results signified the supremacy over the existing approaches.

1  Introduction

Sarcasm is a rhetorical way of exposing dislike or negative emotion through exaggerated language construct. It is a variety of mockery and false politeness for intensifying hostility without plainly accordingly [1]. In face-to-face discussion, sarcasm is effortlessly identified through gestures, tone of the speaker, and facial expressions. But identifying sarcasm in written messages is not an insignificant process since none of these cues is easily accessible [2]. Through internet, sarcasm recognition in online communication from discussion forums, e-commerce websites, and social media platforms has turned out to be critical for online trolls, sentiment analysis, identifying cyberbullies, and opinion mining [3]. The topic of sarcasm gained considerable attention from Neuropsychology to Linguistics [4]. During this case, the feature is handcrafted and could generalize in the incidence of figurative slang and informal language that is extensively utilized in online conversation [5].

Sarcasm Detection (SD) from Twitter is modelled as a binary text classification process [6]. Detecting Sarcasm in text classification is a major process with various suggestions for several fields namely fitness, safety, and marketing. The SD method could assist companies to examine customer sentiment regarding the good [7]. It leverages the company to promote the quality of the product. In sentimental analysis, classification of sentiment is the main subfunction, particularly to categorize twitters, comprising hidden data in the message that a person shares with others. Also, one could utilize the composition of Twitter for predicting sarcasm. Executing machine learning (ML) algorithm could produce effective outcomes for detecting sarcasm [8]. Constructing an efficient classification method based on several factors. The major factor is the attribute utilized and the sovereign attribute in the learning model that is effortlessly integrated into the class example [9]. With the emergence of deep learning (DL), current studies [10], leverage NNs for learning contextual and lexical features, eliminate the necessity for handcrafted features. When DL based methods accomplish remarkable results, it can be lack interpretability.

This study designs a deep learning with natural language processing enabled SA (DLNLP-SA) technique for sarcasm classification. The proposed DLNLP-SA technique holds various sub-processes namely pre-processing, feature vector conversion, and classification. Initially, the pre-processing is performed in diverse ways such as single character removal, multi-spaces removal, URL removal, stopword removal, and tokenization. Secondly, the transformation of feature vectors takes place using the N-gram feature vector technique. Finally, mayfly optimization (MFO) with multi-head self-attention based gated recurrent unit (MHSA-GRU) model is employed for the detection and classification of sarcasm. To verify the enhanced outcomes of the DLNLP-SA model, a comprehensive experimental investigation is performed on the benchmark dataset.

3  The Proposed Model

In this study, a new DLNLP-SA technique aims for detecting and classifying the occurrence of sarcasm in the input data. The proposed DLNLP-SA technique undergoes distinct set of processes such as pre-processing, N-gram feature extraction, MHSA-GRU based classification, and MFO based hyperparameter optimization.

3.1 Pre-Processing

When the dataset is recognized, a primary step is to pre-process the text data. The text pre-processed is the method of cleaning the new text data. The strong text pre-processed method is indispensable to application on NLP tasks. Sine every textual element is attained then pre-processing serves as an important component of input that is offering text data application. The pre-process comprises distinct techniques to translate the novel text as to well-defined procedure: lemmatization, removing of stopwords, lexical analysis (removing of punctuations, special character or symbol, word tokenization, and ignore case sensitivity). The various sub processes limited in data pre-processed are:

•   Removing numerals

•   Removing stop words

•   Removing multiple spaces

•   Removing punctuation marks

•   Removing single letter words and

•   Change uppercase letters into lowercase.

3.2 N-Gram Feature Extraction

The pattern is created with the concatenation of neighboring tokens to n-grams whereas n={1,2,3...} . During the easy manner, in which, n refers the similar to one is named as unigram. Employing n-grams, it takes the possibility of taking that word to be possible to develop visible from the text in terms of other words. Usually, ngrams are certainly not larger than n=3 . The maximum values are the probability for generating complex pattern that equals rarely.

3.3 MHSA-GRU Based Sarcasm Classification

At the time of SD and classification, the MHSA-GRU model has been employed to it. The GRU offers a basic unit comprised of two control gates [17], reset gate and the update gate, rather than the absence of the cell state and three in the LSTM cell. The reset and update gates are parallel to forget gate an input gate from the LSTM cell however the variance is in how the output of this gate is utilized within the GRU cell. Consequently, a GRU cell has lesser training parameters when compared to LSTM, making the training very fast. Especially, GRU was proposed for capturing dependency of distinct time scales in machine translation tasks.

zt=σ(Wzxt+Rzht1+bz) (1)

rt=σ(Wrxt+Rrht1+br) (2)

ht=(1zt)ht1+ztψ(Whxt+Rh(rtht1)+bh) (3)

whereas Wz,Wr,WhRN×M,Rz,Rr,RhRN×N and bz,br,bhRN denotes weight matrices and bias vectors andxt,zt,rt,htRN denotes input, update gate, reset gate, and output vector, correspondingly.

A GRU cell integrates the input and forgets gates of LSTM into one single update gate. This gate decides how much data from the preceding hidden state need to be passed through following hidden states. The reset gate rt enables to drop data unrelated for the future. Subsequently, GRU simplifies LSTM by removing specific parameters however, it maintains its important property.

Assume a sentence S , we employ typical tokenizer and utilize pretram˙ ed methods for obtaining D dimension embedding for single word in the sentence. This embedding S={e1,e2,,eN}, SRN×D from the input to this algorithm. For detecting sarcasm in sentence S , it is critical for identifying certain words that offer important cues namely sarcastic connotation and negative emotion. The significance of this cue-word is based on various aspects according to the distinct different contexts. In this presented method, we leverage multi-head self-attention model for recognizing this cue-word from the input text. Fig. 2 depicts the framework of GRU.

Attention mechanism finds pattern in the input that is critical for resolving the provided process. In DL method, self-attention [18] is an attention method for sequence that assists in learning the task-specific relationships among distinct components of a provided sequence for producing a good sequence representation. During the self-attention model, 3 linear predictions: Key (K), Value (V), and Query (Q) of the provided input sequence is produced in which, Q,VRN×D .

A=softmax(QKTD)V (4)

In multiple-head self-attention, various duplicates of the self-attention model are parallelly utilized. All the head takes distinct relations among the words in the input text and recognizes the keyword that assistance in classification.

3.4 MFO Based Hyperparameter Optimization

During hyperparameter tuning process, the MFO algorithm has been applied to properly tune the hyperparameters involved in it [19]. An optimization is utilized for determining the particular and maximum accurate solution to these problems. During this case, MO was utilized for finding particular and accurate solutions. The mayflies (MFs) are insects which are anciently named Palaeoptera. This MO is simulated as the social mate performance of MFs. The male mayflies (MMFs) appeal to female mayflies (FMFs) by carrying out a nuptial dance on the water by creating up and down movements for procedure a design. This technique was generated by observing 3 procedures of these MFs and it can be movement of MMFs, movement of FMFs, and matting method of MFs. These are described under:

As before mentioned the males, group, and dance on some meters of water. The MFs are incapable of moving at maximum speed and their velocity for reaching that level was computed by under in Eq. (6).

vijt+1=vijt+a2eβrp2(pbestijxijt)+a1eβrg2(pbestijxijt) (5)

whereas, vijt implies the velocity of MMF, xijt refers the place of MMF, i=1,n represents the space dimensional, t stands for the time step and i signifies the MF number. However, a1 and a2 are constants that are executed to scale for the contributions of social element and cognitive element. Besides, pbestij signifies the optimum place visited by MF, N denotes the entire amount of MMFs. Finally, β indicates the visibility co-efficient that border the visibility of MF to other MFs, rp and rg refers the space amongst and xi and pbesti and gbest.

χit+1=Xit+vit+1 (6)

vit+1=vijt+d×r (7)

The fresh place of MMF is estimated with Eq. (6) by summing up velocity vit+1 with existing place xit . An optimum MFs retain on going with its nuptial dance by altering its velocity permitting to Eq. (7). Whereas, d denotes the co-efficient of nuptial dance and r implies the arbitrary number with range of −1 and 1.

The female does not swarm on its individual instead the FMFs are concerned by males to breed. The magnetism procedure was demonstrated as method with determination as the velocity of all MFs both males as well as female are computed with employing its FF. Specifically, the FMF that is having maximum fitness value is magnetized by MMF is maximum fitness value. Therefore, the velocity of FMFs are computed as illustrated in Eq. (8):

vit+1={vijt+a3eβrmf2(xijtyijt)iff(yi)>f(xi)vijt+flriff(yi)f(xi) (8)

In which, vijt refers the velocity of FMF, yijt represents the place of FMF, i=1,,n denotes the space dimensional, t implies the time step, and i stands for the MF number. In addition, a3 refers the constant practice for scaling the contribution of social elements and cognitive components. But, β signifies the visibility co-efficient, but rmf refers the space amongst FMFs and MMFs.

yit+1=yit+vit+1 (9)

Lastly, fl implies the co-efficient of arbitrary walk that is trained in event of the magnetization amongst FMF as well as MMF are failed, and r indicates the arbitrary number with −1 and 1 range. A novel place vit+1 of FMF is established by adding their place for computing formula as in Eq. (9).

The procedure of mating amongst MMFs as well as FMFs are implemented with function is named crossover operator. As mentioned previously, fitness value was employed for choosing the partner for mating, and that outcomes in 2 offspring that are created as declared in Eqs. (10) and (11) under as offspring1 and offspring2.

offspring1=Lmale+(1L)female (10)

offspring2=Lfemale+(1L)male (11)

In which, L represents the arbitrary number in the existing range, male imply the male parent and female signifies the female parent. Primary velocities of offspring1 and offspring2 are assumed that zero.
