Abstract

HAHAcronym has been the first project concerned with computational humor sponsored by the European Commission. The project was meant to convince about the potential of computational humor, through the demonstration of a working prototype and an assessment of the state of the art and of scenarios where humor can add something to existing information technologies. The main goal of HAHAcronym was the realization of an acronym ironic re-analyzer and generator as a proof of concept in a focalized but non-restricted context. In order to implement it some general tools have been developed or adapted for the humorous context. For all tools, particular attention has been put on reusability. A fundamental tool is an incongruity detector/generator to detect/generate semantic mismatches between the known/expected “sentence” meaning and other interpretations, along some specific dimension
