Humor Genome

Humor Genome

Goals

To build an Internet repository of humor, broadly interpreted. Items which are considered funny by various groups would be tracked via social networking integration. The resulting “big” data would be available for analytics, which, in particular, could include research that will help better understand, and perhaps even quantify humor. Possible crowd sourcing of jokes or computer generated humor.

Issues Involved or Addressed

Study of humor, data analytics and machine learning, artificial intelligence, social networks.
