Techniques

Any programming techniques allowed, but system does need to be able to run off line

Academic Background (Algodan, 2011):
  • Ritchie, Binsted – linguistic analysis of jokes [2004] – punning riddle [Binsted and Ritchie, 1994] – e.g.: “What do you call a murderer with fibre? A cereal killer.”
  • Stock, Strapparava – large scale lexical resources, semantic relations, creative variations – funny acronyms [2003] – e.g.: “MIT = Mythical Institute of Theology”
  • Nijholt, Tinholt – humorous agents: interaction, appropriatedness, humorous acts – anaphorical puns [2004] – e.g.: “Mary asked Susan a question, and she gave the answer” “Did Mary give the answer?”

Computer Puns

Is Ritchie & Binsted's approach to computer punning still state of the art?

Why offline?

regarding running offline, that's partly to avoid mechanical turk approaches, i.e. a human being making up the jokes and sending them back over an internet connection - the Loebner Prize has a similar format for the same reason
