Seriously? This Artificial Intelligence Can Detect Sarcasm on Social Media

Researchers from the University of Central Florida (UCF) have developed a sarcasm detector for social media platforms using artificial intelligence. According to Ramya Akula, sarcasm in face-to-face interactions is easier to determine, one of the researchers of the study. However, the lack of facial expressions and vocal tones in Facebook posts and Tweets makes it more tedious to catch. What more, if a computer attempts to figure it out. "Sarcasm detection in online communications from social networking platforms is much more challenging," Ramya said, though UCF's website. The social measures brought upon the Covid 19 pandemic have forced most people to interact online.
