Two papers from UKP co-authors have been accepted for publication at ISHS 2019 , the 2019 Conference of the International Society for Humor Studies.
Two of our papers on humour recognition have been accepted for presentation at ISHS 2019, the 2019 Conference of the International Society for Humor Studies. The conference will take place at the University of Texas at Austin from June 24 to 28, 2019.
The first paper, A Bayesian Approach for Predicting the Humorousness of One-liners , describes a method for learning to quantify the funniness of jokes by exploiting human preference judgments. The paper's coauthors are Dr. Edwin Simpson, Erik-Lân Do Dinh, and Prof. Iryna Gurevych (UKP Lab) and Dr. Tristan Miller (formerly UKP Lab, now at OFAI).
The second paper, Detecting Humorous Images by Caption Analysis, is joint work by UKP authors Malou Ockenfels (now at Netlight Consulting), Dr. Tristan Miller (now at OFAI), and Yevgeniy Puzikov. It explores various methods for detecting humorous images by analyzing manually or automatically generated captions.
