Meeting Description:

Humour remains one of the most difficult aspects of intercultural
communication: understanding humour often requires understanding implicit
cultural references and/or double meanings, and this raises the question of
its (un)translatability. Wordplay is a common source of humour due to its
attention-getting and subversive character. The translation of humour and
wordplay is therefore in high demand. Modern translation depends heavily on
technological aids, yet few works have treated the automation of humour and
wordplay translation, or the creation of humour corpora. The goal of the JOKER
workshop is to bring together translators and computer scientists to work on
an evaluation framework for wordplay, including data and metric development,
and to foster work on automatic methods for wordplay translation.
