Systems and Methods for Generating and Recognizing Jokes

摘要

Methods for generating jokes include coupling server(s) with database(s) having words stored therein; receiving text at the server(s) from an external source communicatively coupled with the server(s) through a telecommunications network; in response to receiving the text at the server(s): selecting one or more topic keywords of the topic sentence using the server(s); generating one or more punch words with the server(s) using words stored in the database related to the topic keyword(s); adding bridges to the punch word(s), using the server(s), to generate one or more jokes; communicating a signal to a first computing device through the telecommunications network using the server(s); and in response to receiving the signal at the first computing device, displaying or speaking the joke(s) using the first computing device. Systems for generating jokes include networked computer components configured to carry out the methods. The methods/systems may also be used for recognizing jokes.
