Award winning poet, tolerable graphic artist, avid middle aged geek, neo-pagan and grandmother of three beautiful boys. Isolationist by nature, everything I have done publicly for almost 3 decades has been under a pseudonym.... I am a physically disabled SAHM with a brilliant mind, a wicked sense of humor, some talent in cg painting and a SLIGHT tendency to exaggerate.

Research & Projects. Computational humor. It is a relatively new area, with the first dedicated conference organized in 1996.[1] Joke generators[edit] Pun generation[edit] An approach to analysis of humor is classification of jokes.

Computational humor

A further step is an attempt to generate jokes basing on the rules that underlie classification. Q: What is the difference between leaves and a car? A: One you bake and brush and rake, the other you rush and brake and bake. Q: What do you call a strange market? A: A bizarre bazaar. Since then the approach has been improved, and the latest report, dated 2007, describes the STANDUP joke generator, implemented in the Java programming language.[4][5] The STANDUP generator was tested on children within the framework of analyzing its usability for language skills development for children with communication disabilities, e.g., because of cerebral palsy. Other[edit] Stock and Strapparava described a program to generate funny acronyms.[9] Joke recognition[edit] Applications[edit] Related research[edit] See also[edit] Artificial neural network. An artificial neural network is an interconnected group of nodes, akin to the vast network of neurons in a brain.

Artificial neural network

Here, each circular node represents an artificial neuron and an arrow represents a connection from the output of one neuron to the input of another. For example, a neural network for handwriting recognition is defined by a set of input neurons which may be activated by the pixels of an input image. After being weighted and transformed by a function (determined by the network's designer), the activations of these neurons are then passed on to other neurons.

This process is repeated until finally, an output neuron is activated. This determines which character was read. Like other machine learning methods - systems that learn from data - neural networks have been used to solve a wide variety of tasks that are hard to solve using ordinary rule-based programming, including computer vision and speech recognition.
