Abstract

Due to the diversity of language interpretation capacities, the computational natural language understanding (NLU) systems should be able to recognize semantic complex situations. In terms of natural language processing (NLP), computational humor detection is still one of the major challenges, having several applications, especially on social media. In order to observe how easily it is to create humor out of a serious title, in this paper, we aim at the development and comparison of machine learning and neural network models on the humor prediction task in news headlines, using the dataset provided by SemEval-2020. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is able to improve the humor detection performance, generated by applying short edits to headlines.
