Hello,
I am doing research on sentiment analysis and i want to detect sarcasm in Hindi text. Anyone having idea regarding that... Any paper can suggest in that area.
I have already published paper for sarcasm detection in social media. Now, i need paper related to Hindi data.
Dear Santosh Kumar Bharti,
You may find yours a most difficult quest. I know my own English language is rich with clues to indicators of sarcasm in the spoken inflections, intonations, stops ... pace ... EMPHASIS ... etc etc ... however, almost all of them are lost when the voice is reduced to the written page. I was an "Internet pioneer" [... perhaps one of the earliest to "chat" idly on "social media" ... passing illicit messages and actually engaging in the first rudimentary computer games of competition between operators of computer systems between major college campuses across the United States over the US Army's experimental ARPANET, the precursor to today's Internet, "patching-in" ... today referred to as "hacking" ... during the quiet lulls when no one ever seemed to be watching or caring "after midnight" in Summer 1976] and I have been irreverently "getting in trouble" for the past 40+ years on chat-groups (and now in social-media), because I have a very sarcastic sense-of-humor, and sarcasm is not well-perceived in the written word ... and my sarcastic words meant to be humorous, friendly and disarming, or even endearing, have too-often been mistaken to be serious insults to someone's personal beliefs, religion, family, tribe, ethnicity, race, nationality, education, pet, automobile, home, etc. or even, indeed, as personal challenges to fight!
I know too little about Hindi (only what I have been told by scholars I have met casually over the years) to provide any useful advice to you, but can only wish you the best of fortune on your quest, for it seems a worthwhile one. Perhaps, if I could offer one suggestion, it would be that you could follow-through with an idea I had (which I never did follow-thru on for English) that will obviate this difficulty for the future, that is, invent a simple emoticon, or icon [type-face mark] that can be inserted in text (like a set of quotations are placed around text to give it special emphasis) to enable the Hindi reader to know where intended sarcasm begins-and-ends, after you develop an algorithm that successfully identifies sarcasm? I know ... I know ... :( somehow, that would somewhat defeat the impact of the sarcasm, wouldn't it ... but, you can always offer the choice of an on/off switch for the sarcasm indicator in the text to avoid spoiling it for those (like me) who might prefer reading the traditional text (even though I may be too dull to catch 100% of the sarcastic nuance).
Best regards,
Bob Skiles
