Abstract(in English) Sarcasm identification has been treated as a task that classifies text as sarcastic or non-sarcastic. Sarcasm identification is a significant challenge for sentiment analysis because sarcasm involves a positive expression with negative meaning. Targets of sarcasm in sarcastic sentences are an important feature for sarcasm identification. In this paper, we study a detection task of targets of sarcasm in sarcastic sentences. First, we construct a dataset for the target detection task. Then we apply two detection methods using machine learning models to the dataset. We compare the methods with a baseline method. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
