Infotec + CentroGEO at SemEval-2020 Task 8: Deep Learning and Text Categorization approach for Memes classification

AbstractThe information shared on social media is increasingly important; both images and text, and maybe the most popular combination of these two kinds of data are the memes. This manuscript describes our participation in Memotion task at SemEval 2020. This task is about to classify the memes in several categories related to the emotional content of them. For the proposed system construction, we used different strategies, and the best ones were based on deep neural networks and a text categorization algorithm. We obtained results analyzing the text and images separately, and also in combination. Our better performance was achieved in Task A, related to polarity classification.
