A Report on the 2020 Sarcasm Detection Shared Task

Figurative language analysis, such as sarcasm and irony detection has established itself as one of the popular NLP tasks in the last decade. As the community working on computational approaches to such problems is growing it is imperative to conduct benchmarking studies to analyze the current state-of-the-art, thus facilitating progress in this area. In this paper we report on the shared task on sarcasm detection we conducted as a part of the 2nd Workshop on Figurative Language Processing (FigLang2020) at ACL 2020.
