Neural network trained on 'Friends' can detect sarcasm 75% of the time

Could the loss function be any better??

A lot of us nerds here on HN would probably struggle to detect sarcasm 75% of the time.

     ##detects sarcasm 100% of the time
     def IsSarcasm(text):

Detect sarcasm? Yeah... good luck with that.

Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

One has to wonder if they trained it on the Father Ted episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfpi5oIFx-Q

Is this why Microsoft named it "Bing?"

That'll be very useful.

I'm guessing they skipped Phoebe's lines for the training.
