Abstract

In recent years, online social media platforms have become saturated with a diverse range of free expression, lea-ding to heightened attention on the detection of sarcastic semantics as a specialized form of sentiment analysis. To enhance the study of sarcasm detection in social media contexts, this paper reviewed the evolution of both traditional methodologies and deep learning techniques, systematically analyzing their developmental trends from two perspectives: textual sarcasm detection and multimodal sarcasm detection. Firstly, this paper compiled and summarized the datasets utilized for sarcasm detection. Next, this paper investigated sentence-level detection, contextual augmentation, knowledge integration, and auxiliary tasks within textual sarcasm detection. This paper elaborated on the contributions of attention mechanisms, pre-trained models, graph neural networks, and quantum neural networks in the fusion of multimodal sarcastic information. Subsequently, this paper explored the potential applications within this domain. Finally, this paper encapsulated the current state of research, identified existing challenges, and proposed potential research directions for sarcasm detection, incorporating recent advancements in large language models to provide valuable guidance for future researchers aiming to innovate detection methodologies.
