Document Summary

Can computers create humour ritchie construction of humour generally regarded as creative -> falls into area of computational creativity and any general theory of creativity should have something to say about humour. Now computational modelling of humour still in early stages. Conventional ai methodologies applied to humour leads to models with very limited scope; typically make little or no use of theories of humour. Humour generating programs are typically designed by examining some extremely small area of humour, abstracting some structural patterns from existing examples, formulating computationally manageable rules that describe these patterns and implementing an algorithm to handle these rules. Implementers of existing programs: even very small studies can throw up interesting insights into the nature of humour raskin: only by adopting linguistically general and theoretically based concepts can computational humour progress. It"s very common for humour to be conveyed in language -> great deal of research this focused on humour expressed in language.
