An Investigation into Computational Recognition of Children's Jokes

bstract or nonliving entities act or are described as living. And living things gain extra benefits such as animals talking. For this reason, the standard scripts are modified to accommodate the children’s world. Concepts, Relationships, Scripts Background knowledge and data meaning (semantics) can be provided by ontologies. Ontologies provide the capability to represent objects, concepts and other entities that exist in an area of interest as well as the relationships that hold among them. Since we are only interested in children’s jokes for this project, the knowledge in the ontology is mostly collected from a children’s dictionary and a collection of children’s texts. The ontology is manually created, description logics are used for knowledge representation. The concepts derived from words in a children’s dictionary, containing approximately 2500 entries. The concept hierarchy is modeled from WordNet [Fellbaum, 1998]. Each noun in the dictionary is an instance of a concept...
