    "abstract": "This paper presents the first shared task on irony detection: given a tweet, automatic natural language processing systems should determine whether the tweet is ironic (Task A) and which type of irony (if any) is expressed (Task B). The ironic tweets were collected using irony-related hashtags (i.e. #irony, #sarcasm, #not) and were subsequently manually annotated to minimise the amount of noise in the corpus. Prior to distributing the data, hashtags that were used to collect the tweets were removed from the corpus. For both tasks, a training corpus of 3,834 tweets was provided, as well as a test set containing 784 tweets. Our shared tasks received submissions from 43 teams for the binary classification Task A and from 31 teams for the multiclass Task B. The highest classification scores obtained for both subtasks are respectively F 1 = 0.71 and F 1 = 0.51 and demonstrate that fine-grained irony classification is much more challenging than binary irony detection.",

                "text": "The development of the social web has stimulated the use of figurative and creative language, including irony, in public (Ghosh et al., 2015) . From a philosophical/psychological perspective, discerning the mechanisms that underlie ironic speech improves our understanding of human reasoning and communication, and more and more, this interest in understanding irony also emerges in the machine learning community (Wallace, 2015) . Although an unanimous definition of irony is still lacking in the literature, it is often identified as a trope whose actual meaning differs from what is literally enunciated. Due to its nature, irony has important implications for natural language processing (NLP) tasks, which aim to understand and produce human language. In fact, automatic irony detection has a large potential for various applications in the domain of text mining, especially those that require semantic analysis, such as author profiling, detecting online harassment, and, maybe the most well-known example, sentiment analysis.",

However, the SemEval-2014 shared task Sentiment Analysis in Twitter (Rosenthal et al., 2014) demonstrated the impact of irony on automatic sentiment classification by including a test set of ironic tweets. The results revealed that, while sentiment classification performance on regular tweets reached up to F 1 = 0.71, scores on the ironic tweets varied between F 1 = 0.29 and F 1 = 0.57. In fact, it has been demonstrated that several applications struggle to maintain high performance when applied to ironic text (e.g. Liu, 2012; Maynard and Greenwood, 2014; Ghosh and Veale, 2016) . Like other types of figurative language, ironic text should not be interpreted in its literal sense; it requires a more complex understanding based on associations with the context or world knowledge. Examples 1 and 2 are sentences that regular sentiment analysis systems would probably classify as positive, whereas the intended sentiment is undeniably negative.",

Example 2 illustrates implicit cyberbullying; instances that typically lack explicit profane words and where the offense is often made through irony. Similarly to example 1, a contrast can be perceived between a positive statement (\"I'm looking forward to\") and a negative situation (i.e. experiencing hate). To be able to interpret the above examples correctly, machines need, similarly to humans, to be aware that irony is used, and that the intended sentiment is opposite to what is literally enunciated.",

Also beneficial for this task are combinations of different feature types (e.g. Van Hee et al., 2016b), author information (e.g. Bamman and Smith, 2015) , features based on (semantic or factual) oppositions (e.g Karoui et al., 2015; Gupta and Yang, 2017; Van Hee, 2017) and even eye-movement patterns of human readers (Mishra et al., 2016) .

Prior to data annotation, the entire corpus was cleaned by removing retweets, duplicates and non-English tweets and replacing XML-escaped characters (e.g. &). The corpus was entirely annotated by three students in linguistics and second-language speakers of English, with each student annotating one third of the whole corpus. All annotations were done using the brat rapid annotation tool (Stenetorp et al., 2012) . To assess the reliability of the annotations, and whether the guidelines allowed to carry out the task consistently, an interannotator agreement study was set up in two rounds. Firstly, inter-rater agreement was calculated between the authors of the guidelines to test the guidelines for usability and to assess whether changes or additional clarifications were recommended prior annotating the entire corpus. For this purpose, a subset of 100 instances from the SemEval-2015 Task Sentiment Analysis of Figurative Language in Twitter (Ghosh et al., 2015) dataset were annotated. Based on the results, some clarifications and refinements were added to the annotation scheme, which are thoroughly described in Van Hee (2017). Next, a second agreement study was carried out on a subset (i.e. 100 randomly chosen instances) of the corpus. As metric, we used Fleiss' Kappa (Fleiss, 1971 ), a widespread statistical measure in the field of computational linguistics for assessing annotator agreement on categorical ratings (Carletta, 1996) . The measure calculates the degree of agreement in classification over the agreement which would be expected by chance, i.e. when annotators would randomly assign class labels. Table 1 : Inter-annotator agreement scores (Kappa) in two annotation rounds. Table 1 presents the inter-rater scores for the binary irony distinction and for three-way irony classification ('other' includes both situational irony and other forms of verbal irony). We see that better inter-annotator agreement is obtained after the refinement of the annotation scheme, especially for the binary irony distinction. Given the difficulty of the task, a Kappa score of 0.72 for recognising irony can be interpreted as good reliability 2 .",

Adding 2 According to magnitude guidelines by Landis and Koch (1977) . these non-ironic tweets to the experimental corpus brought the total amount of data to 4,792 tweets (2,396 ironic + 2,396 non-ironic). For this shared task, the corpus was randomly split into a class-balanced training (80% or 3,833 instances) and test (20%, or 958 instances) set. In an additional cleaning step, we removed ambiguous tweets (i.e. where additional context was required to understand their ironic nature), from the test corpus, resulting in a test set containing 784 tweets (consisting of 40% ironic and 60% nonironic tweets).",

The best system yielded an F 1 score of 0.705 and was developed by THU NGN (Wu et al., 2018) . Their architecture consists of densely connected LSTMs based on (pre-trained) word embeddings, sentiment features using the AffectiveTweet package (Mohammad and Bravo-Marquez, 2017) and syntactic features (e.g. PoS-tag features + sentence embedding features). Hypothesising that the presence of a certain irony hashtag correlates with the type of irony that is used, they constructed a multi-task model able to predict simultaneously 1) the missing irony hashtag, 2) whether a tweet is ironic or not and 3) which fine-grained type of irony is used in a tweet.",

NTUA-SLP (Baziotis et al., 2018) built an ensemble classifier of two deep learning models: a word-and character-based (bi-directional) LSTM to capture semantic and syntactic information in tweets, respectively. As features, the team used pre-trained character and word embeddings on a corpus of 550 million tweets. Their ensem-ble classifier applied majority voting to combine the outcomes of the two models. WLV (Rohanian et al., 2018) developed an ensemble voting classifier with logistic regression (LR) and a support vector machine (SVM) as component models. They combined (through averaging) pretrained word and emoji embeddings with handcrafted features, including sentiment contrasts between elements in a tweet (i.e. left vs. right sections, hashtags vs. text, emoji vs. text), sentiment intensity and word-based features like flooding and capitalisation). For Task B, they used a slightly altered (i.e. ensemble LR models and concatenated word embeddings instead of averaged) model. NLPRL-IITBHU (Rangwani et al., 2018) ranked fourth and used an XGBoost Classifier to tackle Task A. They combined pre-trained CNN activations using DeepMoji (Felbo et al., 2017) with ten types of handcrafted features. These were based on polarity contrast information, readability metrics, context incongruity, character flooding, punctuation counts, discourse markers/intensifiers/interjections/swear words counts, general token counts, WordNet similarity, polarity scores and URL counts. The fifth best system for Task A was built by NIHRIO (Vu et al., 2018) and consists of a neural-networks-based architecture (i.e. Multilayer Perceptron). The system exploited lexical (word-and character-level unigrams, bigrams and trigrams), syntactic (PoS-tags with tfidf values), semantic features (word embeddings using GloVe (Pennington et al., 2014) , LSI features and Brown cluster features (Brown et al., 1992) ) and polarity features derived from the Hu and Liu Opinion Lexicon (Hu and Liu, 2004) .",

(2013) ; Barbieri and Saggion (2014) ; Pt\u00e1\u010dek et al. (2014) and built an SVM classifier exploiting structural features (e.g. hashtag count, text length), sentiment-(e.g. contrast between text and emoji sentiment), and emotion-based (i.e. emotion lexicon scores) features. INAOE-UPV combined pretrained word embeddings from the Google News corpus with word-based features (e.g. n-grams). They also extended the official training data with benchmark corpora previously used in irony research and trained their system with a total of 165,000 instances. RM@IT approached the task using an ensemble classifier based on attentionbased recurrent neural networks and the Fast-Text (Joulin et al., 2017) library for learning word representations. They enriched the provided training corpus with, on the one hand, the data sets provided for SemEval-2015 Task 11 (Ghosh et al., 2015) and, on the other hand, the sarcasm corpus composed by Pt\u00e1\u010dek et al. (2014) . Altogether, this generated a training corpus of approximately 110,000 tweets. ValenTO took advantage of irony corpora previously used in irony detection that were manually annotated or through crowdsourcing (e.g. Riloff et al., 2013; Pt\u00e1\u010dek et al., 2014) . In addition, they extended their corpus with an unspecified number of self-collected irony tweets using the hashtags #irony and #sarcasm. Finally, UTMN developed an SVM classifier exploiting binary bag-of-words features. They enriched the training set with 1,000 humorous tweets from SemEval-2017 Task 6 (Potash et al., 2017) and another 1,000 tweets with positive polarity from SemEval-2016 Task 4 (Nakov et al., 2016) , resulting in a training corpus of 5,834 tweets.",

                "text": "For Task B, the top five is nearly similar to the top five for Task A and includes the following teams: UCDCC (Ghosh, 2018) , NTUA-SLP (Baziotis et al., 2018) , THU NGN (Wu et al., 2018) , NLPRL-IITBHU (Rangwani et al., 2018) and NIHRIO (Vu et al., 2018) . All of the teams tackled multiclass irony classification by applying (mostly) the same architecture as for Task A (see earlier). Inspired by siamese networks (Bromley et al., 1993) used in image classification, the UCDCC team developed a siamese architecture for irony detection in both subtasks. The neural network architecture makes use of Glove word embeddings as features and creates two identical subnetworks that are each fed with different parts of a tweet. Under the premise that ironic statements are often characterised by a form of opposition or contrast, the architecture captures this incongruity between two parts in an ironic tweet. NTUA-SLP, THU NGN and NIHRIO used the same system for both subtasks. NLPRL-IITBHU also used the same architecture, but given the data skew for Task B, they used SMOTE (Chawla et al., 2002) as an oversampling technique to make sure each irony class was equally represented in the training corpus, which lead to an F 1 score increase of 5 points. As can be deduced from Table 7 , the top five constrained systems correspond to the five bestperforming systems overall (Table 6 ). Only four unconstrained systems were submitted for Task B. Differently from their Task A submission, #NonDicevoSulSerio applied a cascaded approach for this task, i.e. the first algorithm served an ironic/non-ironic classification, followed by a system distinguishing between ironic by clash and other forms of irony. Lastly, a third classifier distinguished between situational and other verbal irony. To account for class imbalance in step two, the team added 869 tweets of the situational and other verbal irony categories. INAOE-UPV, INGEOTEC-IIMAS and IITG also added tweets to the original training corpus, but it is not entirely clear how many were added and how these extra tweets were annotated.",

A closer look at the best and worst-performing systems for each subtask reveals that Task A benefits from systems that exploit a variety of handcrafted features, especially sentiment-based (e.g. sentiment lexicon values, polarity contrast), but also bags of words, semantic cluster features and PoS-based features. Other promising features for the task are word embeddings trained on large Twitter corpora (e.g. 5M tweets). The classifiers and algorithms used are (bidirectional) LSTMs, Random Forest, Multilayer Perceptron, and an optimised (i.e. using feature selection) voting classifier combining Support Vector Machines with Logistic Regression. Neural networkbased systems exploiting word embeddings derived from the training dataset or generated from Wikipedia corpora perform less well for the task.",

For the evaluation of the task, F 1 scores were macro-averaged; on the one hand, this gives each label equal weight in the evaluation, but on the other hand, it does not show each class contribution to the average score. Table 9 therefore presents the participating teams' performance on each of the subtypes of irony in Task B. As can be deduced from Table 9 , all teams performed best on the non ironic and ironic by clash classes, while identifying situational irony and other irony seems to be much more challenging. Although the scores for these two classes are the lowest, we observe an important difference between situational and other verbal irony. This can probably be explained by the heterogeneous nature of the other category, which collects diverse realisations of verbal irony. A careful and manual annotation of this class, which is currently being conducted, should provide more detailed insights into this category of ironic tweets.",

While most approaches were based on one algorithm, some participants experimented with ensemble learners (e.g. SVM + LR, CNN + bi-LSTM, stacked LSTMs), implemented a voting system or built a cascaded architecture (for Task B) that first distinguished ironic from nonironic tweets and subsequently differentiated between the fine-grained irony categories.",
