Filling the Blanks (hint: plural noun) for Mad Libs Humor

چکیده
Computerized generation of humor is a notoriously difficult AI problem. We develop an algorithm called Libitum that helps humans generate humor in a Mad Lib R ©, which is a popular fill-in-the-blank game. The algorithm is based on a machine learned classifier that determines whether a potential fill-in word is funny in the context of the Mad Lib story. We use Amazon Mechanical Turk to create ground truth data and to judge humor for our classifier to mimic, and we make this data freely available. Our testing shows that Libitum successfully aids humans in filling in Mad Libs that are usually judged funnier than those filled in by humans with no computerized help. We go on to analyze why some words are better than others at making a Mad Lib funny.

متن کاملA Memory-Based Learning Model of Dutch Plural Inflection

For example, in English we would say that the plural of the surname mann is manns although it has the same phonology as the noun man which has the irregular plural men. The same goes for the borrowed word ta...
متن کاملDeterminer selection in noun phrase production.
In 3 experiments, native speakers of German named pictures of 1 or 2 objects by producing singular or plural noun phrases consisting of a definite gender-marked determiner and a noun.

متن کاملConceptual plural information is used to guide early parsing decisions: Evidence from garden-path sentences with reciprocal verbs.
In three eyetracking studies, we investigated the role of conceptual plurality in initial parsing decisions in temporarily ambiguous sentences with reciprocal verbs (e.g., While the lovers kissed the baby played alone). We varied the subject of the first clause using three types of plural noun phrases: conjoined noun phrases (the bride and the groom), plural definite descriptions (the lovers), ...
