Detecting Humor in Spanish Tweets","arxiv_id":"1703.09527","date":"2017-03-28","proceeding":null,"authors":["Santiago Castro","Matías Cubero","Diego Garat","Guillermo Moncecchi"],"abstract":"While humor has been historically studied from a psychological, cognitive and\nlinguistic standpoint, its study from a computational perspective is an area\nyet to be explored in Computational Linguistics. There exist some previous\nworks, but a characterization of humor that allows its automatic recognition\nand generation is far from being specified. In this work we build a\ncrowdsourced corpus of labeled tweets, annotated according to its humor value,\nletting the annotators subjectively decide which are humorous. A humor\nclassifier for Spanish tweets is assembled based on supervised learning,\nreaching a precision of 84% and a recall of 69%.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1703.09527v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.09527v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"is-this-a-joke-detecting-humor-in-spanish","repo_url":"https://github.com/pln-fing-udelar/pghumor","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"humor-detection","task_name":"Humor Detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
