## Summary

A TechBrunch session (Computational Humor Edition) exploring the intersection of natural language processing and comedy. Discussion covers theories of humor and the challenge of teaching machines to understand and generate jokes, with demos of joke generators and a look at datasets for computational humor.

Aimed at comedians, writers, computational linguists, software developers, data scientists and anyone curious about computational humor. It is a small-group early-morning brunch (7:45 to 8:45) at the Beltempo restaurant in Hotel Metropolitan Edmont, Iidabashi. First-time attendees confirmed via RSVP on Meetup get their meal free.

## About the community

A small, recurring early-morning brunch meetup in Tokyo where engineers and other technically curious people talk over breakfast. Each session takes a different theme, from AI and open source to mathematics, and the format is relaxed discussion and show-and-tell in English rather than formal talks.
