Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 24-Mar-2026

As in previous years, the Humor and AI Special Interest Group
https://humorstudies.org/Forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=9 of the
International Society for Humor Studies will hold a panel at the 36th
International Society for Humor Studies Conference (ISHS 2026).  ISHS
is a multidisciplinary conference organized and attended by humor
researchers in diverse fields, including linguistics, psychology,
sociology, computer science, folklore, literary studies, and many
others.
We invite paper presentations on AI-based technology for generating,
processing, or analyzing humor.  Contributions should be grounded in
humor theory or other relevant theoretical frameworks, demonstrating
how theory informs the design, analysis, or application of AI methods.
(Submissions that focus solely on AI tools without clear theoretical
motivation or connection to humor research are outside the scope of
this call.)  Application areas include, but are not limited to:
 - human–computer interaction
 - computer-mediated communication
 - intelligent writing assistants
 - conversational agents
 - machine and computer-assisted translation
 - digital humanities
 - natural language processing
 - computer vision
Submission Instructions:
Per ISHS 2026 policy, each (co-)author of the submission must
separately register beforehand for the conference using the form at
<https://www.ishs2026.eventos.dype.com.br/>.  Because the submission
is for a pre-organized panel, co-authors should answer "No" to the
question "Do you wish to send a proposal/work in your registration?"
Payment of the conference fee is not required at submission time, but
will be required of _all_ co-authors of submissions accepted for
presentation.
The corresponding (co-)author should then e-mail the following
information to the panel organizers at ishs-ai at groups.io:
1. Title
2. 250-word abstract
3. 3 keywords
4. Name, short biography, and conference registration code for each
(co-)author
Conveners:
Kiki Hempelmann, East Texas A&M University
Tristan Miller, University of Manitoba
Julia M. Rayz, Purdue University
