Creative Natural Language Processing

Dealing with creative language and in particular with affective, persuasive and even humorous language has often been considered outside the scope of computational linguistics. Nonetheless it is possible to exploit current NLP techniques starting some explorations about it. We briefly review some computational experiences about these typical creative genres. Then we will talk about the exploita...

Our proposed pattern language for creative learners, which we name “Learning Patterns”, consist...
