# EPIC_Irony

- paper: [EPIC: Multi-Perspective Annotation of a Corpus of Irony](https://assets.amazon.science/40/b4/0f6ec06a4a33a44485de1b2b57c7/epic-multi-perspective-annotation-of-a-corpus-of-irony.pdf) at ACL 2023

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.
