Humor Recognition and Humor Anchor Extraction

Humor is an essential component in personal communication. How to create computational models to discover the structures behind humor, recognize humor and even extract humor anchors remains a challenge. In this work, we first identify several semantic structures behind humor and design sets of features for each structure, and next employ a computational approach to recognize humor. Furthermore,...

Preface: Artificial Intelligence of Humor - Computational Humor

Human ability to communicate is incomplete without the use of humor. If a computational system is ever to approximate human communication ability or act as a competent partner in a conversation with a human, humor must be accounted for: it must be detected and dealt with appropriately, and it must be generated at need. Computing is becoming ubiquitous, with more and more systems entering the li...

The virtue gap in humor: Exploring benevolent and corrective humor

The recent emergence of positive psychology gave rise to the idea to conceptualize humor from a “good character” perspective. Present constructs, however, show a “virtue gap,” and the two concepts of benevolent and corrective humor were developed to fill this gap. The former describes a humorous outlook on life that entails the realistic observations and understanding of human weaknesses (and t...

HUMOR: A Crowd-Annotated Spanish Corpus for Humor Analysis

Computational Humor, as its name indicates, studies humor from a computational perspective, and it fosters several tasks, such as humor recognition, humor generation and humor scoring. The area has been little explored, making it attractive to be tackled by novel Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning techniques. For this to be possible, human-curated data is necessary. In this work w...
