Automatic Generation of Jokes in HindiAuthors: Srishti Aggarwal,Radhika Mamidi Conference: ACL Student Research Workshop (SRW) (Association for Computational Linguistics) (ACL-2017 2017) Location Vancouver, Canada Date: 2017-07-30 Report no: IIIT/TR/2017/63 AbstractWhen it comes to computational language generation systems, humour is a relatively unexplored domain, especially more so for Hindi (or rather, for most languages other than English). Most researchers agree that a joke consists of two main parts – the setup and the punchline, with humour being encoded in the incongruity between the two. In this paper, we look at Dur se Dekha jokes, a restricted domain of humorous three liner poetry in Hindi. We analyze their structure to understand how humour is encoded in them and formalize it. We then develop a system which is successfully able to generate a basic form of these jokes. Full paper: pdf Centre for Language Technologies Research Centre |
