Posting sarcastic comments on social media has become popular in the modern era. Sarcasm is a linguistic expression that typically conveys the contrary meaning of what has already been said, making it challenging for machines to find the literal meaning. It depends mainly on context, making it a tedious process for computational analysis. It is well known for its modulation with spoken words and an irony undertone. In addition, sarcasm conveys negative sentiment using positive words, which easily confuses sentiment analysis (SA) models. Sarcasm detection is a natural language processing (NLP) process and is prevalent in SA, human–machine dialogue, and other NLP applications due to sarcasm’s ambiguities and complex nature. Concurrently, the advancement of machine learning (ML) techniques makes it easier to develop robust sarcasm detection methods. This paper presents an automated sarcasm recognition using applied linguistics-driven deep learning with a large language model (ASR-ALDL3M) technique. The purpose of the ASR-ALDL3M technique is to focus on recognizing the sarcastic data using the DL model. In the ASR-ALDL3M technique, the initial data preprocessing phase is utilized, and glove word embedding is applied. Next, the sarcasm recognition procedure is applied using the long short-term memory (LSTM) model. Moreover, the hyperparameter selection of the LSTM model is performed using the fractals monarch butterfly optimization (MBO) technique. At last, a large language model (LLM) is utilized to enhance the sarcastic recognition process. A comprehensive result analysis is made to validate the outcomes of the ASR-ALDL3M technique. The performance evaluation outcomes stated that the ASR-ALDL3M method gains better performance over other models.
