They now post not just texts but also images. However, to benefit from this wealth of information, it is crucial to address the challenge of sarcasm detection, which poses a limitation in sentiment analysis. Sarcasm often involves the use of nonliteral and ambiguous language, making its detection complex. To enhance the quality and relevance of sentiment analysis, it is essential to develop effective methods for sarcasm detection. By overcoming this limitation, we can fully harness the expressed online opinions and benefit from their valuable insights for a better understanding of trends and sentiments among the Algerian public. In this work, our aim is to develop a comprehensive system that addresses sarcasm detection in Algerian dialect, encompassing both text and image analysis. We propose a hybrid approach that combines linguistic characteristics and machine learning techniques for text analysis. Additionally, for image analysis, we utilized the deep learning model VGG-19 for image classification, and employed the EasyOCR technique for Arabic text extraction. By integrating these approaches, we strive to create a robust system capable of detecting sarcasm in both textual and visual content in the Algerian dialect. Our system achieved an accuracy of 92.79% for the textual models and 89.28% for the visual model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3670403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]],"date-time":"2024-06-03T11:37:46Z","timestamp":1717414666000},"page":"1-25","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Automatic Algerian Sarcasm Detection from Texts and Images"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8252-3291","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kheira Zineb","family":"Bousmaha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science, University of Oran 1 Ahmed Ben Bella, Oran, Algeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0873-6384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khaoula","family":"Hamadouche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science, University of Oran 1 Ahmed Ben Bella, Oran, Algeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4545-2656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hadjer","family":"Djouabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science, University of Oran 1 Ahmed Ben Bella, Oran, Algeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4868-657X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lamia","family":"Hadrich-Belguith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science, University of Sfax, Sfax, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"613","article-title":"Business intelligence analytics using sentiment analysis\u2014A survey","volume":"9","author":"Rokade P.
