Model Card

EmoCentricSarcBERT

EmoCentricSarcBERT is a fine-tuned version of bert-base-cased on the SarcOji dataset. It achieves the following results on the Validation set (20% of stratified split of SarcOji dataset):

—Loss: 2.1366
—Accuracy: 0.7126
—Precision: 0.4491
—Recall: 0.6635
—F1: 0.5356
—Mcc: 0.3521
—Roc Auc: 0.7425

Model description

The model uses text and emojis within text to classify sarcasm. The model first featured in:

bibtex

  title     = {An emoji centric approach to sarcasm detection in online discourse},
  author    = {Grover, V and Banati, H},
  journal   = {Scientific Reports},

  year      = {2026},
  publisher = {Nature Publishing Group UK London}
}

Intended uses & limitations

While this model is effective for sarcasm classification on PlainText data since it has been fine-tuned on SarcOji (a sarcasm dataset). Being emoji-centric it relies on emojis for an enhanced sarcasm classification. At present it can tokenize 1444 emojis.
