Full Title: Humor and Artificial Intelligence 

Date: 25-Jun-2018 - 29-Jun-2018
Location: Tallinn, Estonia 
Contact Person: Tristan Miller

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 31-Mar-2018 

Meeting Description:

Humor as a universal and ubiquitously used human ability has proven to be
among the hardest to simulate in these environments. But progress is
continuous and should be reported on at the most important international
conference on humor. The main field contributing to humor and AI is natural
language processing, aka. computational linguistics, where currently deep
learning methods are de rigueur. But these are more successful at visual
processing than symbolic systems, which are the basis of humor. Simpler tasks,
like template-based joke generation and rule-based or machine-learned joke
detection, are seeing more recent advances. Beyond these narrower approaches,
any researcher in artificial intelligence and humor from any field should feel
welcome to this panel.

Conveners:

Kiki Hempelmann (Texas A&M University-Commerce)
Julia M. Rayz (Purdue University)
Tristan Miller (Technische Universität Darmstadt)
Max Petrenko (NTENT.com)
Tony Veale (University College Dublin)


Call for Papers:

This panel solicits abstract submissions on the implementation of humor
detection and generation systems in artificial intelligence environments. 
Submissions should be made through the ISHS 2018 form:
