Prerecorded laughter accompanying dialog in comedy TV shows encourages the audience to laugh by clearly marking humorous moments in the show. We present an approach for automatically detecting humor in the Friends TV show using multimodal data. Our model is capable of recognizing whether an utterance is humorous or not and assess the intensity of it. We use the prerecorded laughter in the show as annotation as it marks humor and the length of the audience's laughter tells us how funny a given joke is. We evaluate the model on episodes the model has not been exposed to during the training phase. Our results show that the model is capable of correctly detecting whether an utterance is humorous 78% of the time and how long the audience's laughter reaction should last with a mean absolute error of 600 milliseconds.

网络模因已经成为传播政治、心理和社会文化思想的有力手段。虽然模因通常是幽默的,但最近几天,用于拖钓、网络欺凌和虐待的有害模因不断升级。检测这样的模因是具有挑战性的,因为它们可能是高度讽刺和神秘的。此外,虽然以前的工作集中在模因的具体方面,如仇恨言论和宣传,但很少有关于一般伤害的工作。在这里,我们的目标是弥合这一差距。我们专注于两个任务:(i)检测有害的模因,(ii)识别它们所针对的社会实体。我们进一步扩展了最近发布的HarMeme数据集,该数据集涵盖了COVID-19,增加了额外的模因和一个新的主题:美国政治。为了解决这些任务,我们提出了MOMENTA(MultiModal framework for detecting harmful MemEs aNd Their tTargets),这是一种新型的多模态深度神经网络,它使用全局和局部视角来检测有害模因。MOMENTA系统地分析了输入模因的本地和全球视角(两种模式),并将其与背景语境联系起来。MOMENTA是可解释和可推广的,我们的实验表明,它优于几个强大的竞争方法。
