CRGA: Homographic pun detection with a contextualized-representation: Gated attention network

Knowledge-Based Systems, 2020
Detecting a homographic pun is one of the fundamental research tasks in natural language processing. A homographic pun is able to produce humor through the latent relationship between the pun and its semantically similar target.

Pun Unintended: LLMs and the Illusion of Humor Understanding

Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing
Puns are a form of humorous wordplay that exploits polysemy and phonetic similarity. While LLMs have shown promise in detecting puns, we show in this paper that their understanding often remains shallow, lacking the nuanced grasp typical of human ...

Puns and near puns in fables.

The Journal of general psychology, 2005
In previous research, (L. G. Lippman, K. Bennington, & I. L. Sucharski, 2002; L. G. Lippman & M. L. Dunn, 2000; L. G. Lippman, I. L. Sucharski, & K. Bennington, 2001), the body of the material (one-liners or fables) had been manipulated to increase its contextual connection to the final word or sentence.
