Sentiment analysis is a technique to analyze people's thoughts, feelings and emotions, and to categorize them into positive, negative, or neutral.

Sarcasm is defined as a positive sentence with underlying negative intention. Most of the current research work treats them as two distinct tasks.

In recent years, research work using deep learning algorithms have significantly improved performance for these standalone classifiers.

description Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have become popular channels for people to record and express their feelings, opinions, and feedback in the last decades. With proper extraction techniques such as sentiment analysis, this information is useful in many aspects, including product marketing, behavior analysis, and pandemic management. Sentiment analysis is a technique to analyze people's thoughts, feelings and emotions, and to categorize them into positive, negative, or neutral. There are many ways for someone to express their feelings and emotions. These sentiments are sometimes accompanied by sarcasm, especially when conveying intense emotion. Sarcasm is defined as a positive sentence with underlying negative intention. Most of the current research work treats them as two distinct tasks.
