EPIC_Irony

Key features:

  • EPIC (English Perspectivist Irony Corpus) is an annotated corpus for irony analysis based on data perspectivism principles.
  • The corpus contains social media conversations in five regional varieties of English, annotated by contributors from corresponding countries.
  • The dataset explores the perspectives of annotators, taking into account their origin, age, and gender.
  • Perspective-aware models were created to validate EPIC, and these proved more effective and confident in identifying irony than non-perspectivist models.
  • The models showcase variation in irony perception across different demographic groups.
  • EPIC serves as a valuable resource for training perspective-aware models for irony detection.
