Washington [US], May 11 (ANI): Properly understanding and responding to customer feedback on social media platforms is crucial for brands, and it may have just gotten a little easier thanks to new research by computer science researchers at the University of Central Florida who have developed a sarcasm detector.
Social media has become a dominant form of communication for individuals, and for companies looking to market and sell their products and services. Properly understanding and responding to customer feedback on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms are critical for success, but it is incredibly labour-intensive.

Humans make inferences about tone and meaning, but algorithms can find hidden relationships between words to detect irony and intentional falsehood.
A new AI tool funded in part by the U.S. military has proven adept at a task that has traditionally been very difficult for computer programs: detecting the human art of sarcasm. It could help intelligence officers or agencies better apply artificial intelligence to trend analysis by avoiding social media posts that aren’t serious.
Certain words in specific combinations can be a predictable indicator of sarcasm in a social media post, even if there isn’t much other context, two researchers from the University of Central Florida noted in a March paper in the journal
