ProSarc: Prosody-Aware Sarcasm Recognition Framework via Temporal Prosodic Incongruity 文章

arXiv:2606.06168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present ProSarc, an audio-only framework that detects sarcasm by modelling temporal prosodic incongruity, that is, the mismatch between local prosodic dynamics and the utterance-level emotional baseline. Dual encoding paths, a Global Emotion Encoder and a Temporal Prosody Encoder (BiLSTM + multi-head attention), feed a Prosodic Incongruity Analyzer that produces a scalar incongruity score for classification. Monte Carlo dropout provides uncertainty estimates, and an attention-based mechanism localises sarcastic onset without frame-level labels. ProSarc outperforms prior audio-only methods on MUStARD++ (F1=75.3) and generalises to spontaneous (PodSarc, F1=62.9) and cross-lingual speech (MuSaG, F1=65.6). Ten-run validation confirms the contribution of incongruity modelling (Wilcoxon p=0.002, Cohen's d=1.51).
