Jokes, drinking and life expectancy.
Epidemiology jokes! This one’s for all you epidemiologists, feverishly Googling the evening before your big seminar, searching for a little icebreaker—a little nugget of self-deprecating humor to win the crowd over. Show them you’re not some pointy-headed stiff. I get a fair amount of Google hits on this site for ‘epidemiology jokes’ for some reason, so I thought I’d cater to this important dem...
متن کاملLogic and reasoning in jokes
It has often been remarked that jokes involve some form of distorted logic, but the details of this joke logic have not been fully explored. We offer a contribution to the methodology of this exploration by clarifying some abstract theoretical distinctions. Firstly, we separate two crucially different notions of “reasoning” which are relevant to joke comprehension: internal logic and audience i...

متن کاملUndecidability and Beyond
We discuss the structure of the recursively enumerable sets under three reducibilities: Turing, truth-table and weak truth-table. Weak truth-table reducibility requires that the questions asked of the oracle be eeectively bounded. Truth-table reducibility also demands such a bound on the the length of the computations. We survey what is known about the algebraic structure and the complexity of ...
متن کاملComputationally Recognizing Wordplay in Jokes
In artificial intelligence, researchers have begun to look at approaches for computational humor. Although there appears to be no complete computational model for recognizing verbally expressed humor, it may be possible to recognize jokes based on statistical language recognition techniques. This is an investigation into computational humor recognition. It considers a restricted set of all poss...
