Papers from the workshop "JOKER: Automatic Pun and Humour Translation" have now been published in the proceedings of CLEF 2022, the 13th Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum.
The JOKER workshop, co-organized by OFAI's Tristan Miller, aims to bring translators and computer scientists together to develop data and evaluation metrics for the (semi-)automatic translation of humorous language. The workshop consists of a number of shared and unshared tasks, held in the spring of 2022, followed by a series of sessions at the CLEF 2022 conference in Bologna from 5 to 8 September, 2022.
A peer-reviewed overview of the entire workshop appears in Experimental IR Meets Multilinguality, Multimodality, and Interaction, a volume in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Papers describing the individual shared tasks of the workshop, as well as the participating systems, are published in Working Notes of CLEF 2022, a volume in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings series.
