Introduction

This web page is used to evaluate automatically created jokes. They are made completely automatically by a computer program. The research in automatic generation of jokes is only in its infancy, so don't expect too much. In fact, if something funny occurs at all in this the first version it would be somewhat unexpected.

Below are jokes generated using several different methods. There are also jokes taken from collections of "real" jokes (i.e. made by humans). So if there is something exceptionally funny, this does not necessarily mean that the computer program is working. There are also a few sentences that are taken from texts produced by humans but are not jokes. All these human made examples are used to calibrate the evaluation measurements. How good a funniness of "3.4" is is hard to understand without reference frames.

What to do

Whatever you do, do not forget to press the "submit" button (bottom of page)!

Please grade all the jokes (or as many as you can stand) below according to how funny you think they are. A score of 1 means "not funny at all" and a score of "5" means "very funny". You can also skip jokes, since there is a total of 95 jokes (most of which are boring to boot), but please fill out as many as you can (it helps science progress, making a better world; and who does not want to help out making the world a better place? ;-).

You can do some of the jokes one day, submit your evaluation and do the rest of the jokes later. Just leave the jokes you already submitted in the "(I am too lazy to answer)" choice next time so you don't vote twice for the same joke.

You can leave comments to me further down. It is also possible to contact me by e-mail. When the evaluation is finished, anyone who might be interested will be able to get the results.
