Patronizing and Condescending Language is an ever-present problem in our day-to-day lives. There has been a rise in patronizing language on social media platforms manifesting itself in various forms. This paper presents two performing deep learning algorithms and results for the “Task 4: Patronizing and Condescending Language Detection.” of SemEval 2022. The task incorporates an English dataset containing sentences from social media from around the world. The paper focuses on data augmentation to boost results on various deep learning methods as BERT and LSTM Neural Network.

In this paper we present our approach and system description on Task 5 A in MAMI: Multimedia Automatic Misogyny Identification. In our experiments we compared several architectures based on deep learning algorithms with various other approaches to binary classification using Transformers, combined with a nudity image detection algorithm to provide better results. With this approach, we achieved an F1-score of 0.665 in the evaluation process

Sarcasm is often expressed through several verbal and non-verbal cues, e.g., a change of tone, overemphasis in a word, a drawn-out syllable, or a straight looking face. Most of the recent work in sarcasm detection has been carried out on textual data. This paper describes how the problem proposed in Task 6: Intended Sarcasm Detection in English (Abu Arfa et al. 2022) has been solved. Specifically, we participated in Subtask B: a binary multi-label classification task, where it is necessary to determine whether a tweet belongs to an ironic speech category, if any. Several approaches (classic machine learning and deep learning algorithms) were developed. The final submission consisted of a BERT based model and a macro-F1 score of 0.0699 was obtained.

In this paper we present our approach and system description on iSarcasmEval: a SemEval task for intended sarcasm detection on social networks. This derives from our participation in SubTask A: Given a text, determine whether it is sarcastic or non-sarcastic. In our approach to complete the task, a comparison of several machine learning and deep learning algorithms using two datasets was conducted. The model which obtained the highest values of F1-score was a BERT-base-cased model. With this one, an F1-score of 0.2451 for the sarcastic class in the evaluation process was achieved. Finally, our team reached the 30th position.
