Automatic recognition of humor has become an important task in the area of figurative language processing, which can benefit various downstream NLP applications such as dialogue systems, sentiment analysis, and machine translation (Melby and Warner, 1995; Augello et al., 2008; Ghosh et al., 2015; Bertero and Fung, 2016; Blinov et al., 2019).
humor is one of the most complicated behaviors in natural language semantics and sometimes it is even difficult for humans to interpret.
