   Call for papers: 1st Workshop on Computational Humor (CHum 2025)   
   ================================================================   
      
   The 1st Workshop on Computational Humor (CHum 2025) will take place   
   virtually on January 19, 2025 as part of the 31st International   
   Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2025).   
      
   Scope and topics   
   ----------------   
      
   CHum 2025 aims to foster further work on modeling the processes of humor   
   with current methods in computational linguistics and natural language   
   processing, against the theoretical backdrop of humor research and with   
   reference to relevant corpora of textual, visual, and multimodal   
   materials. A principal goal of the workshop is to unite researchers who   
   can together probe the limits of various meaning representations --   
   symbolic, neural, and hybrid -- for humor processing.   
      
   We welcome contributions on any topic relevant to the computational   
   processing of humor, including but not limited to the following:   
      
   * LLMs, knowledge representation   
   * Resources and evaluation   
   * Human-computer interaction   
   * Computer-mediated communication   
   * Assisted content creation   
   * Machine and computer-assisted translation   
   * Digital humanities applications   
   * Formal modeling of humor   
   * Proof-of-concept humor detection and classification   
      
   Particularly encouraged are submissions describing inter- or   
   multi-disciplinary work, whether completed or in progress, and position   
   papers that critically discuss the past, present, and future of   
   computational humor systems.   
      
   Submission instructions   
   -----------------------   
      
   Long and short papers should be formatted according to the same   
   guidelines for the main COLING 2025 conference papers   
    and submitted   
   through START:    
      
   Important dates   
   ---------------   
      
   All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth").   
      
   * Initial submission: November 15, 2024   
   * Notification of acceptance: December 2, 2024   
   * Camera-ready submission: December 13, 2024   
   * Workshop: January 19, 2025
