Summary
A computational humor edition of the Tech Brunch series, billed as "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Altman: A Brunch for Computational Humorists". Over a relaxed brunch at Beltempo in Hotel Metropolitan Edmont, Iidabashi, attendees explore where natural language processing meets comedy and why teaching machines to understand and generate humor is hard.
It is aimed at computational linguists, software developers, data scientists, writers and comedians. Topics include theories of humor, demos of joke generators and datasets for computational humor research. The group is small, RSVP is needed to find the table, and first-time attendees confirmed on the list get a free meal.
About the community
Tech Brunch is a recurring small-group breakfast meetup held in English at a hotel restaurant in Iidabashi. Each edition picks a technical theme, such as functional programming, Vim or AI-assisted coding, and mixes lightning talks, demos and casual discussion among a handful of developers.
