COMPUTATIONAL HUMOR:
HUMOROUS INTERACTION WITH THE COMPUTER
Abstract:
In this presentation we survey the role of humor in human-human
interaction with the aim to see whether it is useful for computers
and (embodied conversational) interface agents to integrate humor
modelling, humor interpreting and humor generating capabilities in
their internal model of intelligence, emotions and interaction
(verbal and nonverbal). We look at the current state of the art of
humor research and at research into embodied conversational
agents, affective computing and verbal and nonverbal interaction.
In order to do this we also need to look at earlier attempts to
define and model verbal and nonverbal humor in computational contexts.
The talk will be illustrated with examples that show attempts to
define and model humor and humorous interaction in a particular
context, and attempts to introduce humor models underlying
humorous interaction in general.
