    Book Chapter

    Computational humour is a challenge with connections and implications in many artificial intelligence areas, including natural language processing, intelligent human–computer interaction, and reasoning, as well as in other fields such as cognitive science, linguistics, and psychology. Of particular interest is its connection to emotions. In this chapter we overview the basic theories of humour and present the main contributions made in the field of computational verbal humour, including applications for automatic humour generation and humour recognition.
