• Title: Psycho-linguistic Experiment on Universal Semantic Components of Verbal Humor: System Description and Annotation
• Authors: Elena Mikhalkova, Nadezhda Ganzherli, Julia Murzina,
• Abstract summary: We give an in-depth observation of our system of self-paced reading for annotation of humor. The system registers keys that readers press to open the next word, choose a class (humorous versus non-humorous texts), change their choice. We also touch upon our psycho-linguistic experiment conducted with the system and the data collected during it.

• Abstract: Objective criteria for universal semantic components that distinguish a humorous utterance from a non-humorous one are presently under debate. In this article, we give an in-depth observation of our system of self-paced reading for annotation of humor, that collects readers' annotations while they open a text word by word. The system registers keys that readers press to open the next word, choose a class (humorous versus non-humorous texts), change their choice. We also touch upon our psycho-linguistic experiment conducted with the system and the data collected during it.

  We introduce a novel jokes dataset filtered from Reddit and solve the subtype classification task using a finetuned Transformer dubbed the Naughtyformer. We show that our model is significantly better at detecting offensiveness in jokes compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  We augment an existing dataset of puns with detailed crowdsourced annotations of keywords. This is the first humor dataset with such extensive and fine-grained annotations specifically for puns. We propose two tasks: explanation generation to aid with pun classification and keyword-conditioned pun generation.

  Humor is a substantial element of human social behavior, affect, and cognition. Current methods of humor detection have been exclusively based on staged data, making them inadequate for "real-world" applications. We contribute to addressing this deficiency by introducing the novel Passau-Spontaneous Football Coach Humor dataset, comprising about 11 hours of recordings.

  Visual Emotion Analysis (VEA) aims to predict people's emotions towards different visual stimuli. Existing methods often predict visual emotion distribution in a unified network, neglecting the inherent subjectivity in its crowd voting process. We propose a novel textitSubjectivity Appraise-and-Match Network (SAMNet) to investigate the subjectivity in visual emotion distribution.

We show that DeHumor is able to highlight various building blocks of humor examples.

  We break down any joke into two distinct components: the set-up and the punchline. Inspired by the incongruity theory of humor, we model the set-up as the part developing semantic uncertainty. With increasingly powerful language models, we were able to feed the set-up along with the punchline into the GPT-2 language model.

  We propose Pronunciation-attentive Contextualized Pun Recognition (PCPR) to perceive human humor. PCPR derives contextualized representation for each word in a sentence by capturing the association between the surrounding context and its corresponding phonetic symbols. Results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in pun detection and location tasks.
