Abstract

Multimodal sarcasm detection requires resolving pragmatic incongruity across textual, acoustic, and visual cues through cross-modal reasoning. To enable robust sarcasm reasoning with foundation models, we propose SarcasmMiner, a reinforcement learning based post-training framework that resists hallucination in multimodal reasoning. We reformulate sarcasm detection as structured reasoning and adopt a dual-track distillation strategy: high-quality teacher trajectories initialize the student model, while the full set of trajectories trains a generative reward model (GenRM) to evaluate reasoning quality. The student is optimized with group relative policy optimization (GRPO) using decoupled rewards for accuracy and reasoning quality. On MUStARD++, SarcasmMiner increases F1 from 59.83% (zero-shot), 68.23% (supervised finetuning) to 70.22%. These findings suggest that reasoning-aware reward modeling enhances both performance and multimodal grounding.
