• Resumen

  • People use humor every day, whether to ease tensions, cheer people up or forge romantic relationships. But computers have always been terrible at understanding humor. The ability to comprehend or tell a joke relies on a detailed knowledge of language, culture, stereotypes and personal experiences--something computers don't have. Another issue is that there aren't very clear definitions of what makes a joke funny. Hamzelou remarks on pun, a particularly clear-cut type of humor.
