200个字幕是在ai工具的帮助下编写的，其余的都是在没有帮助的情况下编写的。 第二组67人评价了这些卡通字幕的搞笑程度。 研究人员发现，使用该工具写的笑话比不使用该工具的笑话有趣得多。 相比之下，人工智能辅助字幕的评分与纽约卡通字幕大赛的获奖字幕接近近30%。 参与者表示，该工具有助于他们拼凑幽默故事并开始学习，有助于理解细微差别和有趣的元素，并提出新的想法。 在人工智能的帮助下写的200个笑话中，几乎有一半，95个也被《纽约客》评为比最初的卡通字幕更有趣。 计算机科学与数字科学计划学院的anusha-withana博士说：“人工智能工具可以帮助人们变得更有趣，但更重要的是，它可能是一种治疗作家障碍的方法。”。 ai帮助非母语人士在新语言中变得有趣威塔纳博士和他的团队构思了一种工具，帮助非母语使用者理解新语言中的幽默。 结果还显示，非母语人士发现该工具更有帮助，使他们更接近获胜字幕的43%。 威塔纳博士出生于斯里兰卡，曾在日本、新加坡、德国和现在的澳大利亚生活过，他说，理解当地的幽默往往是新移民的“雷区”。 他说：“在一个新的国家，我经常发现自己‘走调’了。”。 “例如，我曾经说过一句讽刺的话，但在德国并不受欢迎。 在澳大利亚，它会引起人们的笑声。 哈辛杜·卡里亚瓦萨姆作为一名本科生实习生领导了这个研究项目。 他说：“幽默是与他人相处的重要方式。”。 “它对情绪健康和创造力以及管理压力、抑郁和焦虑也很重要。 作为一个非母语人士，我发现这个系统可以帮助我更容易地写笑话，而且它让我的经历变得有趣。 “人工智能如何帮助我们理解幽默？这项研究的初衷是利用技术帮助创作灵感源源不断，并将文字写在纸上。”。 阿利斯特·帕默是一名硕士生和业余漫画家，他提出了让更多人参与漫画家创作的想法。 该工具通过评估不一致性的算法工作。 它分析漫画描述中的词语，并产生不协调的词语作为漫画家的暗示。 例如，在一幅漫画中，一个人穿着兔子服去办公室。 该工具建议使用“兔子”和“汤”（源自与“西装”一词的不一致）。 一名试点研究参与者想出了一个标题“我是说兔子汤，不适合”。 在纽约人的比赛中获胜的解说词是“不仅仅是亨德森。 公司解雇了整个兔子部门。 原标题：“不仅仅是亨德森。 公司解雇了整个兔子部门。 ai辅助解说：“我是说兔子汤，不适合。 ”（漫画来源：tomcheney，纽约人，©condénast）judy kay教授表示，这种方法意味着我们可以解释人工智能是如何工作的：“随着人工智能在我们的生活中发挥着更大的作用，我们的团队希望创建这种工具，让人们能够感觉到控制。 威塔纳博士说：“归根结底，人类仍然是创造幽默的人，但这项研究是人工智能如何增强和帮助我们的社交互动的一个很好的例子。”。

cartoons with their original captions and captions written with the assistance of ai. image: university of sydney, with cartoons by matthew diffee and mick stevens, the new yorker, condé nast.university of sydney researchers have used an ai-assisted application to help people write cartoon captions for cartoons published in the new yorker cartoon caption contest.twenty participants with little to no experience writing cartoon captions wrote 400 cartoon captions. 200 captions were written with the help from the ai tool, and the remainder were written without assistance. a second group of 67 people then rated how funny these cartoon captions were. the researchers found jokes written with the help of the tool were found to be significantly funnier than those written without the tool. comparatively, ratings for the ai assisted captions were almost 30 percent closer to the winning captions in the new yorker cartoon caption contest. participants said the tool helped them piece together humorous narratives and get started, helping to understand nuances and funny elements, and to come up with new ideas. almost half, 95 out of the 200 jokes written with the help of ai were also rated as funnier than the original cartoon captions by the new yorker. “the ai tool helps people be significantly funnier, but more importantly, it may be a cure for writers block,“ said dr anusha withana from the school of computer science and the digital sciences initiative. ai helps non-native speakers be funny in a new languagedr withana and his team conceived the tool to help non-native speakers understand humour in their new language. the results also showed non-native speakers found the tool more helpful, bringing them 43 percent closer to the winning caption. born in sri lanka and having lived in japan, singapore, germany and now australia, dr withana said understanding local humour could often be a “minefield“ for a new arrival. “in a new country i would often find myself ‘off-key’”, he said. “for example, i once made a sarcastic comment that didnt go down well in germany. here in australia, it would have gotten a laugh.“ hasindu kariyawasam led the research project as an undergraduate research intern. “humour is such an important way to relate to others,” he said. “it is also important for emotional wellbeing and creativity, and for managing stress, depression, and anxiety. as a non-native speaker myself, i found the system helped me write jokes more easily, and it made the experience fun.“ how can ai help us understand humour?the original aspiration for the research was to use technology to help get creative juices flowing and get words down on the page. alister palmer, a master’s student and amateur cartoonist conceived the idea to engage more people in cartooning. the tool works through an algorithm which assesses incongruity. it analyses the words in a description of the cartoon and generates incongruous words as hints for the cartoonist. for example, in one cartoon a person is depicted wearing a rabbit suit to the office. the tool suggested the words “rabbit” and “soup” (derived from the incongruity with the word “suit”). one of the pilot study participants came up with the caption “i meant the rabbit soup, not suit”. the winning caption at the new yorker competition was “its not just henderson. corporate laid off the entire bunny division.“ original caption: “its not just henderson. corporate laid off the entire bunny division.“ ai assisted caption: “i meant the rabbit soup, not suit.” (cartoon credit: tom cheney, the new yorker, ©condé nast)professor judy kay said this approach means we can explain how the ai works: “with ai playing a bigger role in our lives, our team wanted to create this tool so that people can feel in control.” dr withana said: “ultimately, humans are still the ones creating the humour, but this research is a great example of how ai can augment and aid our social interactions.” about the research: appropriate incongruity driven human-ai collaborative tool to assist novices in humorous content generation, was authored by hasindu kariyawasam, amashi niwarthana, alister palmer, judy kay, and anusha withana. it was presented at the association for computing machinery conference on intelligent user interfaces - iui 2024 conference on 22 march. declarationthe authors declare no competing interests. they extend their appreciation to the new yorker magazine for providing the cartoons used in the study, with special thanks to emma allen, colin stokes, natalie raabe, cole hill and the artists of the cartoons, leo callum, p.c. vey, and mort gerberg.this project was funded by the australian research council discovery early career award (decra) - de200100479. dr. withana is the recipient of a decra funded by the australian government. we thank the university of sydney’s digital sciences initiative for financial support of this project through grant dsi
