Tech Brunch Event

TechBrunch returns with a Computational Humor edition, a relaxed brunch gathering focused on the intersection of natural language processing and comedy. The conversation centers on the challenges of teaching machines to understand and generate humor, covering theories of humor, demos of joke generators, and the datasets that researchers use to study computational humor. The event is aimed at a mixed crowd: comedians, writers, computational linguists, software developers, data scientists, and anyone curious about the topic. It is intentionally small, so attendees should expect an intimate discussion rather than a large meetup. First-time attendees who RSVP and are confirmed on the list get their meal for free. The group meets at Beltempo, the restaurant inside Hotel Metropolitan Edmont near Iidabashi. RSVP is important: without it the organizers cannot guarantee you will find the group, as they may relocate within the venue.
