<p>Oliver Cakebread-Andrews, doctoral researcher in Computational Linguistics at the University of Wolverhampton, will be joining the ALT South #TechThursday event on Thursday 28 November. Sarcasm can be difficult to understand, even for native speakers – anyone who has spent any time in the UK will attest to this ;-). It is unsurprising that non-native speakers (NNS) struggle to understand sarcasm. AI-based natural language processing (NLP) models have shown impressive results in handling multimodal data. Are these models able to better understand sarcasm than NNS? We present a comparison study between NLP and NNS and suggest how to improve the sarcasm detection abilities of NNS. The talk is open to everyone.</p>
