Summary
This edition of TechBrunch explores computational humor, the intersection of natural language processing and comedy. Attendees discuss the challenges of teaching machines to understand and generate jokes, with demos of joke generators and a look at datasets used for the task. The gathering is aimed at software developers, data scientists, computational linguists, writers, and comedians, as well as anyone curious about the topic. It runs as a relaxed brunch at the hotel restaurant Beltempo in Iidabashi. This is a small-group event, so attendees should not expect a large crowd, and RSVP is required to find the group.
