  • Abstract
    Humor is everywhere, as long as you are willing to see it, both accidental and intentional. Computers have evolved from simple calculating machines to playing chess, controlling air and space flights, and talking to humans. They are increasingly used to informally gather information from humans using human language. The paper mentions that will a computer ever understand humor as well as we do? Some people believe that humor is artificial intelligence-complete. In other words, humor is one of the most difficult problems in AI.
