Need For Humor Scale 1 NEED FOR HUMOR SCALE: VALIDATION WITH FRENCH CHILDREN1

—The Need For Humor (NFH) scale measures the tendency to produce and seek out humor. This personality trait affects the processing and recall of humorous material. This study is a transcultural adaptation and validation of the NFH scale with French participants, including 100 university students (Study 1a) and 160 school-aged children (Study 1b). Results from iterative exploratory analyses and ...

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...

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...
