Summary
This TechBrunch session is a computational humor edition, held over an early-morning brunch at Beltempo, the restaurant inside Hotel Metropolitan Edmont in Iidabashi. The discussion looks at where natural language processing meets comedy and why teaching machines to understand and generate humor is hard.
The agenda covers theories of humor, demos of joke generators, and a look at datasets used for computational humor research. It is aimed at comedians, writers, computational linguists, software developers, data scientists, and anyone curious about the topic. It is a small, conversational group, and first-time attendees confirmed via meetup.com RSVP get their meal free.
About the community
TechBrunch is a recurring Tokyo meetup that pairs a relaxed restaurant breakfast with one technical topic per session. Attendance is kept deliberately small and the tone is conversational, drawing developers, educators, and technically curious regulars who prefer discussion and show and tell over formal talks. First-time attendees who RSVP and are confirmed on the list have their meal covered.
