GRASP: Grounded CoT Reasoning with Dual-Stage Optimization for Multimodal Sarcasm Target Identification

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2604.08879v1 Announce Type: new Moving beyond the traditional binary classification paradigm of Multimodal Sarcasm Detection, Multimodal Sarcasm Target Identification (MSTI) presents a formidable challenge, requiring precise localization of fine-grained targets such as textual phrases and visual regions. Existing approaches predominantly rely on implicit cross-modal alignment, offering limited interpretability and suboptimal fine-grained localization.
