"Let Everything Turn Well in Your Wife" : Generation of Adult Humor Using Lexical Constraints

We propose a method for automated gen-eration of adult humor by lexical replace-ment and present empirical evaluation re-sults of the obtained humor. We propose three types of lexical constraints as build-ing blocks of humorous word substitu-tion: constraints concerning the similarity of sounds or spellings of the original word and the substitute, a constraint requiring the substitute to be a taboo word, and con-straints concerning the position and con-text of the replacement. Empirical ev-idence from extensive user studies indi-cates that these constraints can increase the effectiveness of humor generation sig-nificantly.
