Abstract

If computers are ever going to communicate naturally and effectively with humans, they must be able to use humor. Moreover, humor provides insight into how humans process real, complex, creative language. By modeling humor generation and understanding on computers, we can gain a better picture of how the human brain handles not just humor but language and cognition in general. This installment of Trends & Controversies focuses on different aspects and applications of humor.
