Sarcasm Detection

Flags sarcastic news headlines with classic and neural models

1-2 weeks build

Overview

Classifies headlines as sarcastic or sincere using the public News Headlines Dataset for Sarcasm Detection on Kaggle, which pairs satirical and real news sources. A TF-IDF logistic regression baseline is compared with a bidirectional LSTM, and the report discusses what the models actually learn, including the risk of learning the source rather than the sarcasm.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Headline dataset with clean labels from satirical and real outlets
  • 02TF-IDF baseline and bidirectional LSTM compared
  • 03Pretrained GloVe embeddings for the neural model
  • 04Error analysis of headlines both models get wrong
  • 05Streamlit demo with a confidence bar

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Data

    Loading, deduplication and stratified splits.

  2. 02

    Baseline

    TF-IDF features with logistic regression.

  3. 03

    Neural model

    Embedding layer and bidirectional LSTM.

  4. 04

    Evaluation

    Precision, recall, F1 and ROC curves for both models.

  5. 05

    Demo

    Type a headline and see the predicted label.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain why sarcasm is hard for word-level models
  • Discuss dataset bias and what the model may really learn
  • Demo predictions on headlines the examiner writes
