Abstract

Humor, a quintessentially human experience, is one that finds itself at the intersection of psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and computation. Thus, it finds itself in a very unique place in the world of computer science, especially when it comes to learning it through computational linguistics. The research so far is deep and significant, with work spanning across understanding, quantifying, and generating humor. In this paper, a survey of relevant literature is presented and discussed with the hopes of identifying the path that lays ahead and the work that is to be done to further develop a theory of humor that encompasses its computational understanding as well.
