    abstract = "We present a transformer-based sarcasm detection model that accounts for the context from the entire conversation thread for more robust predictions. Our model uses deep transformer layers to perform multi-head attentions among the target utterance and the relevant context in the thread. The context-aware models are evaluated on two datasets from social media, Twitter and Reddit, and show 3.1{\%} and 7.0{\%} improvements over their baselines. Our best models give the F1-scores of 79.0{\%} and 75.0{\%} for the Twitter and Reddit datasets respectively, becoming one of the highest performing systems among 36 participants in this shared task.",
