This app was developed and used for our software project (WS 17/18).
The main purpose of the programm is to use a machine learning approach to detect irony in customer reviews. When running the main programm, several classifiers are trained and evaluated.

We use Elena Filatova's corpus containing ironic and non-ironic customer reviews from Amazon.com as our [data](https://github.com/ef2020/SarcasmAmazonReviewsCorpus/wiki).
## Setup
We suggest running the `setup.sh` file. This creates a virtual python environment and installs all dependencies of the app.
