WE'RE IN EARLIEST DAYS OF AI REVOLUTION: DIAMANDIS

XPRIZE Foundation founder and Executive Chair Peter Diamandis discusses the pros
and cons of artificial intelligence on "The Claman Countdown."

A team of university researchers in the Netherlands says they've developed an
artificial intelligence (AI) platform that can recognize sarcasm, according to a
new report.




The Guardian reported on Thursday that the research was presented at a meeting
of the Acoustical Society of America and the Canadian Acoustical Association in
Ottawa, Canada, on Thursday. At the event, Ph.D. student Xiyuan Gao said the
research team used video clips and other text and audio content from American
sitcoms like "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory" to train a neural network.

The work leveraged a database called the Multimodal Sarcasm Detection Dataset
(MUStARD), which another research team from the U.S. and Singapore had annotated
with labels about whether sarcasm was present in a given piece of content as
part of a push to build their own sarcasm detector.

After training their AI model on the data, the researchers said they're able to
detect sarcasm in exchanges that were unlabeled by the researchers almost 75% of
the time. They added that subsequent work at the lab using synthetic data has
improved that accuracy level even further, though those research findings
haven't yet been published, The Guardian wrote.

Among the content from TV shows in the database used to train the AI model about
sarcasm were a scene from "The Big Bang Theory" in which Sheldon observes his
friend and roommate Leonard unsuccessfully attempting to escape from a locked
room, as well as a scene from "Friends" that shows Chandler, Joey, Ross and
Rachel unenthusiastically assembling furniture.

"We are able to recognize sarcasm in a reliable way, and we're eager to grow
that," Matt Coler, a researcher at the University of Groningen's speech
technology lab, told the outlet. "We want to see how far we can push it."

Shekhar Nayak, another member of the research project, said the team's methods
and findings could help AI assistants interact more easily with human speakers
by detecting negativity or hostility in the speaker's voice.

Gao noted that incorporating visual cues into the AI tool's training data could
make it even more capable of detecting sarcasm conveyed through facial
expressions like raised eyebrows or smirks.

The interest in AI-powered sarcasm detection shown by the University of
Groningen research team and the researchers who compiled the sarcasm-annotated
MUStARD content database follows a similar line of research done by the U.S.
Department of Defense in recent years.

The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and researchers
from the University of Central Florida used DARPA's SocialSim program to develop
an AI model capable of classifying whether a piece of text such as a social
media post or text message contains sarcasm.

"The team demonstrated the effectiveness of their approach by achieving
state-of-the-art results on multiple datasets from social networking platforms
and online media," DARPA wrote in 2021. "The model was able to successfully
predict sarcasm, achieving a nearly perfect sarcasm detection score on a major
Twitter benchmark dataset as well as state-of-the-art results on four other
significant datasets."



"Accurately detecting sarcasm in text is only a small part of developing these
simulation capabilities due to the extremely complex and varied linguistic
techniques used in human communication. However, knowing when sarcasm is being
used is valuable for teaching models what human communication looks like, and
subsequently simulating the future course of online content," it added.
