چکیده
Computational humor is a challenge with implications for many classical fields in AI such as, for example, natural language processing, intelligent human-computer interaction, reasoning, not to mention cognitive science, linguistics and psychology. In this paper we summarize our experience in developing HAHAcronym, a system devoted to produce humorous acronyms, and we discuss some concrete prospects for this field.
